    I want to make a simple application, and I feel like that type of window would fit the best. So basically the whole thing is a tray application, when you click it, it opens a 'fake window', when you click out of that window it closes. I'm calling it a fake window because it doesn't actually appear in the task manager as a 'real' one.

    How would I achieve this, cross-platform, if possible?
