EDDI would need to go the system tray.

I tried to find UI guidance on whether to use the system tray. MS seem to be encouraging apps that have a desktop presence to minimise to the taskbar instead and maybe use a Jump List or thumbnail toolbar: MSDN article.

Thoughts welcomed.

Alright. After reviewing, I'm on board with starting minimized to the taskbar. Perhaps jump lists could eventually be used to switch personalities. 🙂

This is probably one of those areas where decisions either way will be criticised and we will just have to be prepared for that.

Update EDDI to remember windows size and position, with safety checks…

… in place to ensure EDDI cannot fall irretrievably off-screen, per #201. EDDI will also remember minimized and maximized conditions per #231.

Closed pending approval of #299. PR #299 does not add a checkbox to the UI for starting minimized, but it does remember whether EDDI was minimized when closed and restores that condition.
