Operating system

What issue do you have?

Hello,
On my wife's machine (Linux Mint 22.1), Joplin launches at startup, but its window remains in the foreground and I can't minimize it.
Do you know how I can do this?
(She'll be very grateful because it's annoying her).

Hello
that works on Windows but not on a Linux Mint machine. :frowning:

I just checked that it works on ubuntu 24.04 but I have no access to Linux Mint 22. Gotta do some digging to understand what's causing the problem.

Maybe desktop environment doesn't allow Joplin to be in the tray?

I'm not sure how I did it, but now it works. :thinking:
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Have a nice day.

there is a setting in Linux Mint 21.3 and should be in 22.1 ( I have that in Virtual Box )

when the mouse moves to the bottom right corner, it collapses the screen, same as using the Windows-D key in Win10 or Linux Mint in any Cinnamon DE.

I have Joplin in the Tray at all times with Cinnamon DE.

I have a similar issue since some days. Joplin 3.2.13 on Kubuntu 24.4 starts always Fullscreen. I have no button to minimize or a chance to resize. The only way to come out is alt+F3 and then deselect "Fullscreen". I have to do this every time I start Joplin.
