General idea of plugins:
For you to be attracted to Tray Helper, then Tray Helper must be as
useful to YOU as possible.
Because people have different needs, it is not possible to create one software that has all the components that are needed by everybody. The size of such an application would be just too big!
Solution: thanks to plugins,
YOU can decide if you want to extend Tray Helper’s functionality - and exactly what components you need !
Remember that each plugin "eats" some memory and CPU but believe me it's very small consumption.
Example: "Small WWW Server" plugin - that can change your PC to WWW server (fully functional, multithreaded) has only 80kb of size (and near NO CPU consumption) !
Plugins are easy to dload and install - it's just a few clicks in Tray Helper's "Configuration" menu !
