* Windows: fix hidden/shown/maximized window on start

* allow for some overlap with the top/left edge of the screen before resetting

* support maximizing directly from app tray icon after initial startup

* inline comments

* alternative to prevent minimize effect on startup

* default hideOnStartup to false

* update comment
