OD Plus System Tray Questions

Where are all my icons and do they function like XP's?

Friday, January 20, 2006 by herojig | Discussion: Docks

Hi all, I am really new, just upgraded to OD plus, love it, but the one problem i have is that all the system tray icons are not showing up in the system tray tab! some of them are there, but not the ones i really need:
network, volume, and some other things too. What i am doing is making a tabbed dock that replaces the whole MS thing at the bottom. So far so good, but I miss my blinking network icon, realaudio control, etc. Perhaps these apps use some special way to get into the system tray that object doc can't see?

Well thanks in advance for your support!!!

Ps. Bonus Q: Is there a way to get a widget from another app, like Rainmeter, into a tab? I guess that would be imbedding. I have some widgets cluttering up the screen and it would be grand if I could hide them in a tab.

Strange.... you can't hide any icons in the OD systray, so why are some of them missing? I've seen this reported once before, but I don't think it was resolved. You may need to contact [email protected]

No, Docklets only...

thanks super! i reinstalled and the problem went away, but i think all the woncustomize apps have a prob with system tray icons on my system, but maybe that's cause XP has problems...now i am using objectbar and see double icons and wrong icons but they all seem to correct themselves over time...whatever...

also thanks for tip on what a tab can contain...

Make sure you have a Process running called SDMCP.exe If you don't, open up Stardock Central and in the Tools menu click on "Settings" > in the General list "Enable MCP Notification Area Support" then reboot.
