I was wondering if there was a simple way to close Teamviewer to the notification area like I would close Skype?

EDIT:

Just to clarify my initial post, I want to enable Teamviewer in the notification area so that I can close it in my open programs bar (click on x), and it would still be running in the notification area (Skype does that, I can option Banshee and Rhythmbox to do that, and Transmission does this too). All Tray puts it into the notification area, but the x still closes Teamviewer completely, and I have not found an optional setting in Teamviewer either.

Thanks for the answer though Karni! ;)

Thank you,

bisi

It'll probably not be exactly what you want if I understand correctly, but have you seen askubuntu.com/q/20989/9656 ? – MJB Jan 30 '11 at 2:56

It's an application-specific behavior - you'd need to get the app makers to change it. However, moving it to another desktop will also cause it not to be an eyesore, while alltray as Karni suggested would fill the tray part.

Thanks Vadi, this has been my easyfix for a while now, I'll stick to it and whenever possible, suggest this feature to the app makers ;). Have a nice weekend! – bisi Jan 9 '11 at 0:03

Sure, you can use alltray Install alltray for that :)

Look it up in Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center, or use this command:

sudo apt-get install alltray

EDIT To minimize the program, run alltray and point to the Window of it. It will hide in the tray. To hide/unhide to/from Tray, click the Tray icon of the program :)

I have tried that, over Teamviewer, and have now lost the connection ;) - not a big issue though. I will try again at home, but it might not have worked for me... I mean, I sudo'ed it, ran the program from accessories, clicked on the teamviewer window, it showed an icon in the area, and I then clicked the close icon on Teamviewer... that was the plan right? ;) Thanks for the quick response! – bisi Jan 7 '11 at 9:30
Hey pal! Sorry I didn't look back on askubuntu. No, if you close the Window, you close the program [because hiding to tray is implemented by external program Alltray, instead of TV itself]. Thus, what you should do, is: - run Alltray - point to Team Viewer window - next time you want to hide to tray, click the Team Viewer icon in tray :) – karni Jan 30 '11 at 1:27
