I use roon on windows as both a local player and as a core for other devices in my house.
When I minimize or “close”, I want it to just minimize to the icon bar on the right - same as how things like steam or discord do.
I want it to still run in the background, just not have an active main window. Usually it’s pretty easy to find an option in most apps to set this, but I can’t find anything in roon.
It is much better to install and run the Roon Server in the background mode, and then you can run a Roon Remote either on your mobile device (iPhone, iPad, laptop).
