Hide system tray and have it reappear on hover

[guidolamanna]

Hi @m417z! I’d like to submit a request regarding the Windows 11 Taskbar Styler. I’m currently using it because I love the DockLike theme. I’ve customized my taskbar the way I want it, but I’ve encountered an issue: I can’t (or don’t know how to) hide the system tray grid and have it reappear on hover. As I’m using this theme, I thought it would make sense to have this option available.

While I’m trying to figure out how to hide the system tray grid with Windhawk, I’m currently using RoundedTB to achieve this function. However, I’d prefer to have this feature directly within Windhawk, either in the Windows 11 Taskbar Styler mod or as a completely separate mode. I want to stop using RoundedTB and rely on Windhawk only.

It might better be a separate mod. If implemented this feature can be combined with DockLike theme to visually replicate RoundedTB.

That would be great. I'm already using taskbar auto-hide when maximized, and the ability to hide the system tray grid while using DockLike theme would be a welcome addition.
