[Solved] Running XBMC without the GUI

Hi,

I'm using XBMC as a way to stream all my video and music to my xbox 360, which works really well. The problem is when i want to use my desktop while xbmc is on, because the gui doesnt let me get back to my desktop. I would like to be able to use my computer while at the same time its streaming to my xbox. Am I just being an idiot and theres a simple command to minimise the program?

Thanks

I believe there is an option called "window mode" somewhere in the settings, which makes XBMC run in a normal window that you can minimize.
