Feature Request: Changing Icons used in System Tray

from Stardock Forums

ObjectBar and ObjectDock and Windowsblinds all provide nice ways to move the System Tray around, or even hide it altogether, but I haven't figured out a way to force it to use different icons.  Specically, I'd like to use some icon larger than 16x16 pixels.  Any chance this functionality could make it into a future release?

Currently running WinXP Pro SP3, btw - I'm unsure if this functionality is irrelevant in Vista and/or Win7.

In Objectdock you can have a systray tab and you can change icons there.

When I right-click on the Dock and select Tabs > Add New Tab > Add systray tab a new tab is added with my system tray icons.  However, when I right-click any icon, I don't get the Objectdock context menu.  Instead, I get the context menu of the application.

For example, when I right-click on the Java icon, I get:

About Java Technology
Go to java.com
Open Control Panel
Open 1.6.0_11 Console
Hide Icon

Unlike other tabs I don't get the options for:

This Dock
Dock entry Properties

I do get these options on the Taskbar tab (which is pretty cool, btw).

Thoughts?

(Btw, fwiw I think the developer interaction with customers is fantastic, and really makes Stardock's software stand out - it's one of the reasons I keep buying the stuff.  It's really good to begin with, and gets better quickly.)
