Systray???

from Stardock Forums

Hi,
I have been told to get rid off Stardock Central and use Impulse instead.
So that's what I did. Then I installed my DesktopX copy and it runs ok with my themes
except that there is no more a Systray object available anywhere...

Even if I follow all examples and forums information about creating a Systray object
it's not there, it doesn't work. There is no such thing as a Systray in DesktopX.
My version is 3-50-060 and I really need a Systray in order to be able to work.

The MCP utility to allow this is installed but this doesn't change a thing.
Any help? Any clue?

Thanks

Steve

There seems to be a bug in the later versions of DX. Running in XP I have had success by downloading an older DXtheme that has a system tray in the skin and export it as an object into a folder of your choice and then import it into your skin. This method has always worked for me in XP but only a few times in vista

Mhhhh...

My new machine came with Vista Business 32bit.

I used my former DXTheme, which contained a Systray object, but here it's gone. Doesn't exist at all.

BUMP.

Has this been fixed? Just tried Murex's solution and it didn't work either.

anyone know if you can have a systray in DX when using Vista? None of the solutions have worked for me...... B[]

Nope. Systray's no longer available, even on Vista.

Well...... that's pretty crappy!! I work from the systray a lot! what's the point in making DX themes that change the whole interface and hide the taskbar if i can't have something as simple as a system tray???
