Windows App to run Squeezelite and LMS Web interface from Tray Icon

I am working on a Windows Application that is about 99% complete.

Basically it is a Windows Tray app that runs Squeezelite underneath the covers from an icon in the Windows tray.

You can easily setup the Squeezelite parameters using a GUI. The settings GUI also lets you define custom links that will appear in the popup menu when you right-click the tray icon.

The app has the Chromium Embedded Framework built in, which supplies the LMS web interface. Left-Clicking on the tray icon brings up the LMS interface (fast).

I wrote this initially for myself. My overall installation consists of 4 duets in the house and a server running LMS. I usually control it all with iPeng app on iOS devices. However when sitting at my computer, I use Squeezelite. I want a fast and easy way to do that, so I created this app.

My intent is to create a Windows Store App. I am currently running this as Windows Store app on my PCs, but I also have regular installer for older versions of Windows. I have a ways to go to get through all the wickets of getting it into the Windows Store.

If anyone is interested in trying it out let me know.
