How do I restore window if app is minimized to system tray?
Is there such a thing as BFS.Window.IsMinimizedToTrey(mainWindow)?

There isn't a way to check if a window is minimized to the tray, but you can restore it using the normal method:

BFS.Window.Restore(mainWindow);

Of course BFS.Window.Restore(mainWindow); is available but it doesn't work. I linked the script I was using as a foundation and it has that exact snippet you shared but it doesn't work.

If Skype is minimized to system to tray, and not in taskbar... how do I restore Skype?

notice the part:

//if the app is minimized, restore it

How do I make it restore if app is minimized to system tray?

Ahhh, my bad. I was testing it with a window that was minimized to the tray using the DisplayFusion "Minimize Window to System Tray" function. When Skype is minimized to the tray, the window doesn't actually exist, so there's no way to restore it from a script. The only way would be to have the script double-click on the Skype tray icon. If the tray icon is always in the same spot, that should technically be possible, like so:

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.Input.SetMousePosition(3269, 2137);
BFS.Input.LeftClickMouse();
BFS.Input.LeftClickMouse();

We've just released a new DisplayFusion beta version and there's now a scripting function for checking whether a window is visible:

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.Window.IsVisible(windowHandle)
