I really like this program! The interface is clean, nicely designed. Good use of fonts. Good stuff.

Have you considered trying PySimpleGUIWx?

With it you can run your program "in the system tray" as an icon. Then you could do things like pop-up messages from the icon. double click the icon to bring up the detailed window. It's a way to not have an icon on your taskbar and let it run in the background.

There are a couple of examples that show you how to incorporate System Tray Icons into a GUI.

The same code will also run on Qt, including System Tray! All you have to do is import PySimpleGUIQt instead of PySimpleGUIWx.

PySimpleGUIWx is still in development but I think all of the features you need are there. It got bumped from the highest priority by the NEW PySimpleGUIWeb port. This one is pretty amazing. You'll be able to run the code you're running right now in a web browser, just by changing the import statement.

Thanks for giving PySimpleGUI a try and for sharing your code with everyone.
