Below the gradient click the Edit Gradient button, which looks like a document with a pencil on it. In the toolbar at the top, find the Stops dropdown. Select one of the stops. Select the other stop and set its color to dark green. For this example, make sure both stops have alpha component so they are opaque. If you hold down the Ctrl key, Inkscape will keep it round.

Then open the Object menu and select Align and Distribute. The Align and Distribute window may start off shrunk to a thin slice on the right.

If it does, click it to expand it. Back on the design surface, click off of the circles to deselect them. Then select the smaller circle and repeat the previous steps to give it a gradient opposite to the one used by the larger circle. Save the file as Circle. Next export the file.

On the window that appears in the Export Area section, click Page. Set the size to x pixels at 96 dpi.

Icon: probably the most important property that represents the icon that will be shown in the system tray.

Text: the text that will be shown when you hover your mouse on the icon in the system tray. Visible: indicates whether the icon is visible in the system tray. For now, we will set the icon, text and also the visibility to false since we don't want the icon to be seen right from the start of the application.

Minimizing To System Tray When a system tray is used, the typical behavior is that the application minimizes to the system tray instead of the Taskbar. Therefore, the form's resize event is the one we need to pay attention to. What we basically need to do is check whether the form has been minimized and if so, hide it from the Taskbar and set the NotifyIcon's visibility to True to display it in the system tray. But how do we bring the application back to life when minimized?
