The tray menu is meant for fast control when the main window is hidden.

Build Notes

  • Export to .EXE is implemented in current code, but some builds hide it from the main menu.
  • Change Skin is also build-dependent.

If a command described here does not appear in your build, that usually means the build configuration hides it rather than the help being out of date.
