Option to Not Minimize/Close to System Tray

Now that Dark Mode is finally available in the desktop app, I have been using the exclusively on my desktops instead of visiting the website.

I would like the option for the app to actually quit when I close it, and not continue running in the system tray. It is a major annoyance when I close the app and the music keeps playing. As if I were working on a Mac where an application that is closed is never really closed until you force quit it from the dock.

I have seen a few older threads requesting the opposite - that the app minimize/close to the system tray. I can understand how that would be preferable for some, but I prefer to exit apps completely when I quit them and not have to take the additional step of expanding the system tray to quit the application.

Can a setting can be included to let subscribers choose the behavior when closing the app?

Thank you

I agree very annoying and Facebook like, ie still running after exit. Oversight, or intentional?

Hi there @JustAndras

@RHP

Thank you for your feedback. Our devs already took notice of this suggestion, so it's on their hands to add the option. Once we've got an update, this topic will be updated.

Hey @chezz

We're already looking into that as an option. But please vote for the idea here 👍🏼

I use the Deezer desktop ap, but when I hit the "x" to close the program, the music continues to play. I have to use the task manager to crash out of the program to get it to actually stop.

This occurs on multiple windows 10 computers.
Thanks!

Hi there @haneck

Thank you for your support. It isn't a bug, so I've moved your comment here so that you can vote for this to become an option 👍🏼

@Rudi thank you for linking my post, appreciate it!

Also, Deezer thinks this ISN'T a bug? L O L thats literally what the "x" button is for. If we need to minimize the app, we would click the minimize button...

I agree to that. If i click on the close button I want deezer to be entire shut down. I understand that some people like it minimized to the system tray, just make it an option to chose in the settings. That would make everybody happy.

I've been experiencing the same for a while now and like all others I've become increasingly frustrated with the changed and non-intuitive behaviour.

Within Windows the X has served for closing apps for decades so please don't claim the X minimizing the app to the system tray is a FEATURE and that changing that behaviour requires a new product backlog item to be voted up so it becomes a priority item for a next Sprint (didn't mean to raise my voice ;-)

Please make “closing” to the system tray a configurable option like launching Deezer on start-up, as has been suggested by multiple people who posted on this forum.

Many thanks in advance from a loyal Deezer customer.

Thank you for all your feedback @rene.schluter @Nowa @haneck, guys!

We'll pass it on and hopefully, our devs can look into this in the new year :wink:
