Another question concerning WB%

Wednesday, October 12, 2005 by CaptainWin | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I have WB5 successfully installed and running on my computer. One thing that I noticed is that the icon for WB5 is missing from the lower right corner of my screen. Excuse my ignorance, I do not know if this area is called the system tray or task tray, but with all previous versions I had an icon there that I could access the program from. With WB5 I have to right click the screen and select properties and access the program through the appearance tab. Is this a quirk of the beta or is there something I can do to place the icon where I am used to seeing it? I am running Windows XP Home Edition SP2.

The icon is no longer there because the executable that handled it (wbload.exe) is no longer loaded. It will make a return in the future.

Oh, and the system tray is technically called the "system notification area", only nobody actually calls it that.

wbload.exe is coming back, or the SysTray, err, system notification area icon is coming back?

CaptainWin, for the time being you can put a shortcut to wbconfig.exe in your quicklaunch or wherever you like shortcuts to be. This won't have the right-click options, but will get you to the panel.

The icon is coming back, not wbload.
