Skype behaviour in the Windows 7 Superbar

3

The new version of Skype is always stuck on my Super-Bar(unless i exit the program), which is really annoying. There is not option to minimize it to the tray at least in Skype options. Has anyone had this problem and figured out how to minimize it to the tray?

I tried this with v5.0.3.111 and Skype would not load. – Iain – 2011-05-15T16:53:00.200
