### Taskbar and Mission Control Visibility

You may control whether a window appears in the taskbar and Mission Control.

#### Skip Taskbar

By default, all windows created with the `Window` facade will appear in the taskbar on Windows and macOS.
You may use the `skipTaskbar()` method to prevent a window from appearing in the taskbar.

```php
Window::open()
->skipTaskbar();
```

This is useful for utility windows, floating toolboxes, or background windows that should not clutter the taskbar.

#### Hidden in Mission Control

On macOS, all windows will appear in Mission Control by default.
You may use the `hiddenInMissionControl()` method to prevent a window from appearing when the user toggles into Mission Control.

```php
Window::open()
->hiddenInMissionControl();
```

This is particularly useful for always-on-top utility windows or menubar applications that should not be visible in Mission Control.
