Macro functions without buttons being open?

[exigeous]

Is there a way for macros to work without the button "app" being open? I only very rarely use a couple macros so it drives me nuts that I have to have this one little app open on my taskbar just for the rare times I use that. Is there a setting so they will work, via hotkeys, just from the main app running (and in the system tray)?

You could drag the icon on the arrow so that you don't see it.

Thanks for the reply - appreciated - but that's not what I'm asking, although it's perhaps close. My issue isn't the system tray, it's the taskbar - I have the app (Banana or Potato) set to minimize to the task try when I click the X but the "button" app doesn't seem to work that way - that said I see in your video (great that you did that, again thanks) you are able to minimize the "buttons" to a task try icon - I see no way to do that. So it just sits on the taskbar like this

YOU ARE MY HERO!!!

Seriously, BIG THANKS as that's been driving me crazy forever! As much as I love Voice Meeter it's interface really does leave a lot to be desired.
