    ... instead of being reduced in the tray.

    @AbrahamDUnity Most of it is in the title.

    Right now, when we start a project, the Unity Hub window is closed and we need to use the tray icon to reopen it, could we have options that:
    1. disable the tray icon,
    2. allow us to keep the Hub window open or minimised in the task bar/dock instead?
    I hope this request is clearly explained and will not start a fight again. ;)

    Hi @APSchmidt,

    We've had requests to keep the Hub open after opening a project. I'll discuss this with the team :).

    As for disabling the tray, this might be more complicated. I'll relay the suggestion but I can't promise anything.

    Cheers,

    Thanks!

    If we can keep the Hub window open after opening a project, the tray process would become useless, wouldn't it?

    I find this behaviour super annoying on Mac. Please add an option to disable it.

    I have the Unity Hub pinned to my taskbar so I can easily open projects, which I tend to juggle a lot of. That way the Unity Hub always sits right next to my Unity project on the taskbar. But the Unity Hub closes every time I try to open something, which is insanely annoying if I'm trying to open more than one project at a time. Why isn't this basic feature a configurable option? It wouldn't take very much time to add it in, and this is something that's been being asked for, for years now.
