I was about to make the same recomendation.
Also if it was to run as a service so that it would start to control the fans even without a user being logged it would be very cool.

Agreed, a service would be good but that would be a major re-write of the program... probably wouldn't happen. I'm a .NET developer so I don't know how trivial that stuff is to do in delphi, I know its not "exactly" trivial in .NET either.

Ok. I will consider minimizing.
Just one question: how should I allow the end user to actually close SpeedFan? Should I rename the MINIMIZE button to CLOSE?
Any suggestion that won't hurt those that are used to the MINIMIZE button on the main window?

How about just right clicking the tray icon and choosing "exit".
I think that would be the best option.

I agree with Q. Ideally, Minimize should minimize to the taskbar and X should minimize to the tray (no taskbar entry). To exit the program, right click the tray icon and choose &Exit.

WOW! I didn't expect to find you both online this early in the morning!
Actually... I didn't expect to find MYSELF online this early in the morning :-)
Your suggestion looks fine to me. I will apply it in the forthcoming new release.

The latest beta includes this X behaviour. The forthcoming new release will contain it too :-)
