Great! Thanks.

Super useful, love it!

It is useful for me. Does not distract the icon on the main panel. (Windows 10, 11)
P.S. For the work of the plugin, I had to reboot the program.

Worked for me on windows 10.

A genuinely useful addon. Keeps Anki out of the way until you need it.

helpful

It works but it crashes if you have it set hidden on startup and you start Anki without internet connection

It works

I really appreciate all the effort of the developer, it's a really really useful one and it makes life much easier. There's only a not-serious-error thrown sometimes that I have reported on GitHub if you want to look into. Thanks.

Great Add-on, Works Well in Ubuntu ( linux )

work well

So convenient to have it in the tray. Thank you

Great add-on! Works as described, instead of shutting down upon closing (via keyboard shortcut or with the mouse) Anki will be kept active in a little Anki tray icon that's always there, but will be cleared from the taskbar.

Works flawlessly, this should really be included with Anki by default.

works perfectly.

TLDR: Please set the default tray icon click as toggle visibility.
It would be better to have the GUI operations more consistently designed (I use it on macOS):
1. Click the tray button will show the window, no matter it is currently unfocused, hidden or minimized. Currently clicking the tray button and select show all windows sometimes does nothing, maybe because the window is unfocused.
2. It would be better to make the default action of clicking tray icon as toggle visibility, rather than click the "show all windows" menu entry. Having a good minimize to tray function is good enough to eliminate quiting Anki for most time, so the minimize to try should be the major and most frequently used feature.

Edit: I implemented the requested feature. Though due to weird Qt behavior there are some flickers of the windows in some cases and I am not 100% confident that this will work reliably. Test the feature and let me know.
If I understand correctly the desired behaviour should be:
- Click X > Minimize to tray
- Click tray + Windows shown and focused > Does nothing (windows remain visible and focused)
- Click tray + Windows shown and unfocused > Focus it
Regarding the 'hidden' state, I guess it is a Mac feature, but probably should be taken care of by Qt if this is implemented correctly.

Good!

Очень хорошо.

Works pretty good. It does have a tendency to shrink the window to the middle of my screen though but that's fine, I resize it and it sticks for a while.

Works perfectly! Awesome to use in conjunction with AnkiConnect.

It's working, thanks

Good

works well in my arch linux with i3wm as interface

works great in my old kubuntu 14.04, thanks!!

Works for me on Windows 7 (Anki 2.0)

How about minimize only some windows
Hi, I would give it 5 stars if there's that feature. Actually, I just wanna hide the main windows while I'm adding new words ^^
