Bug + Clarification Request: “Show icon in taskbar” hides the system tray icon instead of the taskbar icon #1473

Description

Body:

After testing the “Show icon in taskbar” setting on Windows, it seems the behavior and naming are incorrect.

Issue

The setting “Show icon in taskbar” currently hides the system tray icon, not the taskbar icon.
This is confusing and appears to be the opposite of what the label suggests.

Expected Correct Behavior

“Show icon in taskbar” should control visibility of the taskbar icon (the large icon on the main taskbar).

The system tray icon (near the clock) should be controlled separately.

Suggested Improvements

Fix the current behavior so the toggle actually controls the taskbar icon.

Add a separate toggle for:
“Show icon in system tray”
This would allow Ueli to run fully in background without any visible UI if the user wants a Spotlight-like experience.

Why this matters

Clear naming and correct behavior reduce confusion for users. Also, having separate options gives more control over how visible Ueli is while running.

Thanks for reviewing this. If needed, I can provide screen recordings showing the current behavior.
