Problems with Systray
Wednesday, August 21, 2002 by Luke de Sade | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
When I first installed LiteStep, all my Systray icons were displayed, but now I can only see the Task Manager icon in my systray. I did my own systray and still, the only icon visible was the Task Manager. I use another theme, let's say Simplicity, and still, only the Task Manager icon.
How can I fix this? I want my volume icon, my scanner icon, my quicknotes icon...god dammit, I want my Messenger and ICQ icons!

No, Jafo. I'm not running it from the Explorer shell. I run it as THE shell.
I can't tell you my systray commands right now 'cause I'm not home. I'm at work. I'll let you know later tonight.
I think if I can't fix this tonight, I will not use systray.

I think if I can't fix this tonight, I will not use systray. I just have like four or five icons there (Quicknotes, anti-virus, task manager, ICQ, and Ultimate Zip), so F-word it.

The only time you 'should' have problems with a systray is with older LS builds running in 2K or XP.
There 'must' be some other program installed that's interfering for it not to work in '98...

Luke-
You might try this- move everything out of your startup folder (put them in some other dir so you can get them back), reboot and see if systray acts right. If it does, move your apps back into startup one at a time and repeat until systray blows up. I agree with Jafo- you've got something running that's hosing the tray.

have you ever tried StarDock software as ObjectBar or DesktopX?

Yeah, I'll do that. Gonna move everything from the startup folder (although I only got two things there) and see what happens.
Still, I found a turnaround for this problem: I'm getting a new computer
Not because of the systray problem, but because they're cheap, and my old fossil of a computer needs a well deserved rest.
The one I'm getting is: Intel Pentium 4 1.5 Ghz, 40 GB HD, 512MB RAM, 48MB AGP Vid Card...for 600 bucks. Then I'll install Win98 on that one, then Litestep, and hopefully I'll have my systray back. The other one I'll use to learn C++.
moshi, I've just tried Windowblinds.

Ouch, why would anyone go back to WIN98? I'm running it and I loathe it. I have XP Pro but I haven't gotten around to installing it yet, had some memory issues when I trised the first time and it trashed my HD. Its on my son's computer and it just seems so stable. Not a blue screen or GPF yet.

Why would I go back to Win98? I've stayed on Win98 since I got it. I haven't updated, and I won't update. I loathe WinME, and don't even start with WinXP!
I find Win98 stable (yeah, the blue screens are present), but why would I update if all my programs work with Win98? Whenever I need a program that is specifically made for WinME/XP, THEN I will upgrade. Not a moment sooner.
