Description

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1

On my computer Workrave starts on Windows startup and shows me the Status Window. When I close the Status Window a Balloon Tip pops up with the notification "Workrave is still running. You can access Workrave by clicking on the white sheep icon.". I have seen this notification more than a 100th times and it is a little bit annoying.

Is this behaviour by design?

The balloon is an attempt to reduce the number of emails I get from people who do know access Workrave once the main window is closed... So the behaviour is by design. That said: In the next version the balloon will be disabled if you click on it. 

For now you can import the following registry key:

----cut here-----
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Workrave\gui]
"closewarn_enabled"="0"

Ofcourse, I meant to write: "...from people who do NOT know..."

Balloons are now disabled when you click on it (permanently) http://snapshots.workrave.org/20110922/
