I tried the new tray icon in Windows 7 x64, Windows 8.1 x64, and the Windows 10 x64 Technical Preview build 9926. Tested: Open Freenet, Start Freenet, Stop Freenet, View log file, Preferences, Hide icon and Exit. Everything worked.
My only complaint is that Open Freenet launched IE instead of FF, which was set as the default. The Preferences > Browser dropdown choices are Auto and Internet Explorer with no information on how to add other options. Should there be a one time prompt when clicking Hide icon that informs the user that Freenet is still running in the background, and explains how to restore the icon or start/stop Freenet?
