Start hidden in systray

Created by: xcasxcursex

It would be awesome to have a method to start the application minimised to the systray. A command-line argument would be fantastic as it would allow the app to start normally, or hidden, rather than having a single fixed behaviour in Element's preferences - and of course it means no changes required to the preferences.

I'm using Element in conjunction with Voicemeeter to process inputs (de-noising, gating, voice channel stuff, etc), so both apps start automatically on boot and I never touch them again. Presently, on each boot, I have to expand the systray, right-click the icon, and select show/hide, to minimise it to the tray and ready the PC for use - not a major problem, but it would be nice to not have to do that.
