Allow to hide the menu bar icon

[tokamac]

Menu items are cluttering space in the menu bar. Plain Pasta appears in the menu bar for two purposes only: to show it is currently running, and to quit the app. I do not need the app to tell me it is active; and to quit the app I could kill it in Activity Monitor. So please add the option to hide the menu bar item for power users, perhaps with a warning discouraging newbies to do so.

Thanks for the suggestion @tokamac. This is a good idea, I'll just need to find time to do it. I'm planning to add a settings window soon, so I won't add this option until I get that finished, but once I do I'll try to get something like this working.

I'm thinking that giving the user the option to have the app appear in the dock and/or the menu bar or neither would be good. Then if the icon is hidden from both places, you could still bring up the settings window by double-clicking the app icon to "launch" the app.

Double-clicking the app icon to bring back the settings window whereas there is no icon in the dock or in the menu bar anymore is the best thing to do indeed. I was wondering how to do that but the solution is actually plain simple ;)
