That's an option of course, but I'm so used to have certain programs,
the ones always open, available in the systray it's hard to adapt to a
new way of doing it. Skype, xchat, truecrypt, dropbox and Opera works
like that. It would be really great if Evo had that option as well since
it it a program most users have open at all times like the ones
mentioned above.
