[request] Yz Dock Sys Tray Docklet

i saw that there was a docklet for object dock that shows the applications in the system tray and i was wondering if there was a way of making a docklet like that for yz dock... it would be useful to be able to see all the sys tray programs in the dock.

just a thought, hope that someone could do this :)

cheers!

Go to www.dockex.com- there is a docklet there called Tasks v 0.2 (not TaskPack). It is a little buggy, but there is not much else one can do. ;) (to my knowledge).

Hope this helps,

i already tried that

but what i ment was the system tray icons not the taskbar programs...

All of the two SysTray docklets for OD are not fully functional,

some tray icons / state changes may go amiss.

Reason being that the System Tray must run ahead of any other

application, because it needs to register itself to the shell.

Therefore, a real working implementation of a system tray replacement,

like LiteStep, requires a reboot before getting ownership of the tray from

explorer. Object Bar can do it without reboot, but I guess they have signed a

nondisclosure agreement with MS on how to do it...

Yes, its doable but do you really want to reboot your PC each time

you restart YZDock?

Another solution would be to have a separate exe coded that would allow

arbitrary docks / docklets to attach and query independent of the docks runtime.

i never tried OD i was just asking whether it could be done and if so, if it would work properly...

from what you say, it's not worth the trouble :)

so i guess i'll leave the taskbar visible :)

thanx!
