No tray icon

Post by REB »

Hi there..
I was wondering if you could make a simple function that allows people to hide the tray icon completely, so Everything is really just running in the background. I know the "hide inactive icons" function in Windows can do this, but since i want to avoid that (dont get me into explaining why, heh) i was thinking if you could make this really simple little feature.

Regards

To hide the taskbar notification icon:
  • Exit "Everything".
  • Open the Everything.ini file in your "Everything" installation folder.
  • Add the following line to the end of the Everything.ini:

    Code: Select all

    no_taskbar_notification_icon=1
    
  • Save changes to the Everything.ini
  • Restart "Everything".

Currently broken, fixed for next release.

Oh, cool! Thanks for the answer and keep up the great work.

EDIT: Hmm, it doesn't seem to work?

Please make sure "Everything" is not running before changing the Everything.ini

I have the same problem.. I hate cluttered system trays, but I love this program.

This should really not be that difficult,

when I add the code:

Code: Select all

no_taskbar_notification_icon=1
to the everything.ini file (at the bottom of the file, making sure everything is not running), the icon still appears.

After adding the code and saving the file, I can see it in the .ini file when I check it.
However, once I run everything, close it again, and then check the .ini file the code is gone.

Maybe everything overrides this function?

Is there a fix to this? Any other Ideas?

This would make this program a lot better!!!!!!!!! I'm sure there are a few other systray freaks out there....

thank you for any help!

I have a bit of the opposite problem. I WANT the tray icon.

My everything.ini has
no_taskbar_notification_icon=0

But the tray icon only appears about 1/2 the time when my system boots up.

Any ideas?
