Research direction

Start by reading the app's startup flow and existing Windows platform integration; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Determine how system-tray behavior and autostart should be configured, then confirm the app can minimize to the tray and launch automatically when those options are enabled.

Description

Hi,

it would be really handy (for my setup at least) if Bikecontrol could be run in the system tray and autostart itself; ideally setting it up once and forgetting about it.

(Sorry if this is already an option; I haven't found it, though)

Thanks in advance.
