Who has Office Extreem/By Gef

Problem w/Displaying taskbar icons

Wednesday, February 14, 2007 by Firedogs Ron Son Jose | Discussion: Community

Starting using once again Office Extreem/By Gef; DesktopX Themes. Odd though, the taskbar icons are not showing up within the skin (to the left of City/State. No problem in seeing the icons for those programs currently on the desktop (to the right of the City/State). Any clue as to what may be happening?

Yep, I have that theme and I have no problems with the icons showing in the system tray gef made for this theme(I just checked). Do you use Stardock Central? Did you check Tools, Settings and on the Settings general tab verify that Enable MCP notification area support and Enable MCP SmartStartup are checked?

Thank you BigDogBigFeet for responding. I followed your "Paws" steps and it worked! Thanks for your technical support. I would have never connected SDC to this issue.

It's quite alright Firedogs. From what I understand, there is a separate exe program that provides that function (simulated system tray). SDC ensures that program will load and run properly. At least that's my understanding. I've also heard rumors that eventually that will be changed. Have fun skinning!
