change the gear icon in systray to custom one in compiled ex

Post by matthiasR » Sat Jul 29, 2006 2:52 pm

Hi,

is there a way to change the gear in the systray in compiled exe?
If i run 2 or more compiled scripts, i cannot see, which one is running or finished because all scripts have the same icon.

Is there a possibility to change that? Cannot find any information in the help.

Best regards,

Matthias Rebbe

You cannot change it but you can remove it with the -NOSYSTRAY option which can be compiled in. You can compile in a custom icon - this will show in the task bar. So, you can have different icons in the task bar but in the system tray you can only show the standard icon or none at all.

What I find more useful is to use Set>APP_TITLE= to change the name that shows on the Task Bar when the compiled macro is running.

Thanks to both of you. I´ve already set the APP_TITLE. But wanted also the custom icon in systray. In the meantime i will hide it.

@mtettmar: Maybe you implement the "custom systray icon" feature in future versions?

Best regards,

Matthias

Thank you, you are completely correct of course. I use another app every day that does "set" variables. :oops:
