Hi,

I would know how to minimize a program (wxpython app) into an icon on
the taskbar on windows (the one at the side near the clock, i can't
remember what is it called.)

Is it easy to be done? Is there a way to do the same thing on Linux?

Did you look into wx.TaskBarIcon?

Cheers, Frank


Its called the system tray and here is a link to some sample code
for Windows I found via Google:

Here is a link that says it works for KDE:

This may help with gnome:
