I realise this will be pretty low priority given almost no one else will have this minor niggle, but I'll request it so it gets added to the list.
I'd like to request a 'Quit' button for the main application.
Currently I have to use the 'To Tray' button, then right-click the app's icon in the tray to Exit. Minor detail most of the time, except sometimes my tray app isn't running, so I then have to kill altbinz's process. The reason I have to go through these two steps instead of just clicking the 'close window' button that Windows draws in the top right corner is that my window manager doesn't draw frames around altbinz, so I have no [X] close button in the top right corner.
If you run a special window manager (not Windows desktop), you may not have any window manager's buttons and frame surrounding altbinz's window. (There are some special window managers for XP, and also this could also apply to anyone using Wine and Linux.) It would be nice to have the ability to quit the app directly.

I can see why you'd want this, but in the mean time: Tried alt+f4?

u could also use the shutdown button to shutdown only alt.binz instead of windows if u change it in the settings->misc #2...

Or hit the AltBinz logo at the very top left then choose, "close" from the menu. Or even just double-click that logo, isn't that a hang-over from windows 3.1?

If he doesnt have the X button because it shows AltBinz without frames, there is also no application icon. ;)

Oh, sorry, didn't get that far in his explanation. The sensible answer then is to use a window manager that properly decorates the windows :)

i guess he has his reasons for that particular manager but at+f4 or the shutdown-button should do the trick.no need for something new so far i think...
