Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/705

Operating Systems

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Barrier Version

2.3.2-Release-00000000

Steps to reproduce bug

Start Barrier
Look for the missing miniminze button
Only close button is present

Other info

I expect a minimize button to be present and find it confusing that the close button acts as a minize button when Barrier but you first have to configure it minimize to system tray on exit.

It seems a minize button is available on Windows.

This might be as simple as just adding the Qt::CustomizeWindowHint and Qt::WindowMinimizeButtonHint or even Qt::WindowMaximizeButtonHint to the QDialog constructor call, see also https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt.html#WindowType-enum

Maybe there was no need to minimize the application running in the background. The operation of closing a window in some cases closes the app, in some cases minimizes the app (or hides it altogether).
An app that does things in the background e.g. downloader may minimize on window close.
