What happens, is the tray icon apps gets hidden or invisible. So you have to use end-task. This work-around we posted is to solve this problem.
Beta coming soon.
Thanks.

StoryServer — The World’s Toughest One-Pane Grid — Color Customization, Sorted View and Notepads.
The developers at Polywick Studio implemented, perhaps, the world’s hardest programming challenge: a one-pane grid, as well as implement features made by in-memory patches to the original organizer via extensions.
Grid Colors
Besides the world’s hardest grid, are the monstrous menus and pop-up menus and power-features found in the original one-pane organizer.
In the screenshot below, you will see well-thought Format Menu that merges the old and new menus as one-single Format Menu.
Everyone knows the red-line and it’s usually red. In the below screenshot, this will be changed from Red to Blue.
A professional color-picker is provided to the user to select color.

Got it… the cat is finally out of the bag.
Prove me wrong, but all this points to: “Polywick” just took the original Ecco Pro, plus Slang’s amazing work with EccoExt (improved it somewhat further), included perhaps YSWT Magic extension (based on a screenshot showing the “Magic” menu), and…
and falsely called it their own “new app”. This is Ecco Pro, not “Polywick StoryServer”
This effort may have value, especially if the back-end database was indeed improved, but all this must be spelled out clearly.

Hm, yes, I’m afraid that does make sense. The decision to leave the old UI untouched suggests that Pierre has hit the nail on the head - the look is so old-fashioned!

This sounds like a solution in search of a problem.
