[FEATURE REQUEST] Background Launch Mode for Streamer Automation Integration

[AshKapow]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Upon launching the application, it takes immediate foreground focus. For streamers, particularly those integrating the application into automation setups (e.g., with a streaming bot), having the application launch in the foreground can disrupt the flow and presentation of their streams.

Describe the solution you'd like
I propose an enhancement allowing the application to launch directly in the background. This would entail:

• Launching minimized without taking immediate focus, ensuring a seamless streaming experience.
• Starting directly in the system tray or taskbar without showing its main window.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively, an option could be added to the application's settings, allowing users to choose the startup behaviour: either open in the foreground (current behaviour) or launch in the background (proposed solution).

Additional context
The suggested change would significantly enhance the user experience for streamers and content creators, providing a smoother integration into their broadcasting setups and ensuring their streams are not unintentionally interrupted.

Thanks Ash, awesome ideas.

Definitely want to do this and there are a few ways to achieve it. I shall have to a do a bit of learning to understand how to start minimised unless someone else contributes their knowledge to speed up the process.

Hoping that once Version 2 is done proven stable then progress can be made on this issue.
