Re: xAP Plugin for SqueezeCenter v2.2.1 released

[Kevin Hawkins <yahoogroupskh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's a very useful app Kevin - and I have a few things I include this
way.

One aspect is that it leaves the tray icon present when Intranet
Launcher is running- whereas the other Intranet aware apps hide
themselves.   Would it be possible for it to disappear this way and be
accessible via an Intranet Launcher 'exit/show' menu like say xAP Blue
has  (although actually I can't get Blue to 'exit' the 'show' does work).
