SysTray-X/README.md

# SysTray-X

SysTray-X is a system tray extension for Thunderbird 68+. The addon uses the WebExtension API's to control an external system dependent system tray application.  

The addon and system tray application can do:

- custom new mail icon
- display number of unread mails
- show / hide Thunderbird (minimize)
- minimizing hides to tray
- minimize on startup

The default poll time is 60 seconds. You change the timing in the preferences but be aware that a too short poll time can lead to a high CPU load.
