dsh-desktop-tray

DSH Desktop has no system tray out of the box, so clicking the close button terminates the process. If you keep it running in the background for voice input, hot-triggering, or lightweight automation, dragging the window back out every time is a small but constant friction. dsh-desktop-tray removes exactly that friction.

Once installed, a tray icon appears in the status bar: minimizing or closing the main window tucks it away instead of quitting, and a right-click menu brings it back or fully exits the app. A dedicated System Tray settings page lets you inspect injection status, start or revert injection, and run a Node syntax check on the patched files, all without touching files manually. The most important piece is update self-healing, because an automatic update of DSH Desktop overwrites the entire app directory and wipes the injected code. The plugin body lives in AppData, which updates do not touch, so on the next launch it re-injects the code, rebuilds the launcher, and restores the entry point automatically. In the worst case you simply restart once and everything is back.

Perfect for anyone who treats DSH Desktop as a persistent background tool and wants to dismiss it with a glance while keeping it one click away. One caveat: the plugin modifies application files through guarded injection (with backups and five layers of idempotency checks), making it a destructive-but-reversible operation.
