System Tray

CyberSnap has no main window, it lives in the system tray and provides quick access to all features from there.

Tray Icon

The tray icon shows:

CyberSnap logo
Tile quick-panel menu on right-click (area capture, modes, record, tools, gallery, editor, footer actions)
Tooltip: "CyberSnap - Left-click to activate / Right-click for menu" (version shown in the menu header)

Left-click starts an area capture, or stops the current recording while one is in progress.

Icon States

State	Appearance
Running	Normal icon
Recording	Blinking LED: alternates between a red-dot overlay icon and the normal icon every ~500 ms
Recording paused	Steady red-dot overlay icon (no blinking)
Update available	Steady update LED overlay; the menu header shows the version with the LED (click the header to open About)

Note: still-image capture shows no tray animation; the icon only changes state for screen recording.

First-Run Pin Tip

Windows hides new tray icons behind the overflow (^), so CyberSnap shows a one-time tip near the taskbar on first run:

Title: "Keep CyberSnap visible in the tray"
Body explains how to drag the icon onto the taskbar or pin it in Windows Settings
Open Windows Settings button opens ms-settings:taskbar and auto-opens the nested "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" list (works in English and Spanish; avoids the legacy Control Panel applet hosted by explorer.exe)
Don't show again is checked by default; Esc or Got it dismisses and remembers HasSeenTrayPinTip

You can reopen the same action anytime from Settings → General → Startup → Keep CyberSnap visible in the tray (search pintrayicon in Settings search jumps to it).

Note: the ⋯ button beside the close button opens panel options: capture modes, recording, tools, and gallery/editor sections can each be hidden, and the choice is remembered between runs. Area, header, and footer stay put.

Header and Quick Panel

The menu header shows the CyberSnap version; clicking it opens About (with the update LED beside it when a release is pending)
Only Exit stays red; the donate heart rests neutral and blushes rose on hover

Starting with Windows

CyberSnap can automatically launch when you sign in to Windows:

Go to Settings → General → Startup
Enable Start with Windows
CyberSnap adds itself to Windows startup

This creates a startup entry in the Windows Registry (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run).

Exiting CyberSnap

To fully close CyberSnap:

Right-click tray icon → Exit

⚠️ There is no "minimize/close to tray"; CyberSnap has no main window to minimize; it already lives in the tray. Exiting disables all hotkeys, the capture widget, and auto-capture features.
