In normal use you keep Complete Time Tracking Std running continuously rather than closing and starting it each time that you need to use it. The time tracking window can be automatically hidden so that it is always immediately available for use without obscuring other applications.
Hiding the Tracking Window
To automatically hide the time tracking window simply move it to any edge of the screen, top, bottom, left or right depending on your preference. The window will "snap" to the edge of the screen. When the mouse is moved away from the time tracking window for a few seconds the window will automatically hide off-screen. You can control whether the window slides or jumps off screen in the display options.
Showing the Tracking Window
To show the window again simply move the mouse over the area where the window is hidden. A small portion of the time tracking window remains at the edge of your screen to remind you where it is located. Alternatively you can click the Complete Time Tracking icon 
in the system tray area of the Windows taskbar or right-click on the icon and select Show Complete Time Tracking from the popup menu. You can control whether the window slides or jumps on screen in the display options.
The short video tutorials and interactive quick start tutorial show you how to hide and show the time tracking window.
Note: In some circumstances you might not be able to visually locate the time tracking window. Some applications might force themselves on top of all other windows and obscure the time tracking window and some display settings changes might also hide the window. If for some reason you cannot find the window and the icon is displayed in the system tray area of the Windows taskbar you can right-click on the icon and select Center on Screen from the popup menu to center the time tracking window on your screen. You can then drag it back to your preferred edge of the screen for auto-hiding.
