Can't hide from dock #2290

Edit: I think I may have accidentally found out how this works. Closing the window and de-selecting the 'show in dock' option is hopefully the correct process. I only thought to do this as I noticed the blue dot indicating an open app disappeared when i closed the window (I'm used to the hide from dock being an option in an app's settings). The container appears to still be running when I view in the menu bar app, but there is also an 'open Orbstack' option. ; hopefully the latter just means the main window etc. I am brand spanking new to using any kind of docker, so apologies if this was obvious for everyone else.

In this feature request from 2023, it states that Orbstack has implemented the feature to enable menu bar and hide the app from the dock. I found the feature in the 0.11.0 release notes. However, for the life of me, I cannot find the option to actually achieve this!

I've tried with and without the 'Keep running when....' option, restarted etc.

I can see info in documentation on the menu bar app, but no reference to hiding the app icon in dock. Has this feature been removed or am I looking in the wrong place?
