Silica Calender Won't Obey Taskbar Property Setting

from Stardock Forums
You know how you can change what appears on the task bar by right-clicking the bar>Properties>Customize>etc. What do you do if the selection does not 'stick' when rebooting? For example I want the the Silica Calender gadget from Desktop Gadgets app to be there when I start up the computer but I don't want to see it in the taskbar, so I've selected 'Always hide' but when I reboot the setting has failed to 'stick'. It stubornly refuses to leave the task bar upon reboot.    I go back to check the setting and its on 'Hide when inactive'. Is there a fix for this behavior?

Silica Calender showing in taskbar:



Changing Taskbar Properties to 'Alwasy hide' the icon:



Reboot, and it comes back:




Any help appreciated. Thanks

You want the Calendar to be where? On your Desktop? If so, try right-click on the Silica Calendar and selecting Preferences then select None from Accessibilty. Re-start the Silica Calendar to show on your Desktop. A re-boot should have it only appear on the Desktop and not in the Systray.

Thanks for the quick reply Hankers. But actually was looking to get the calender to show on the desktop when computer boots (which it does, no problem there) but I did not want to see the blue lab-top-looking icon for the calender in the taskbar (or system tray is it?) i.e. the far left area of the taskbar next to the clock.

I was reading a fix for problems launching IconX (which I was also having trouble with, kept getting 'Encountered a problem and needs to close' - A Forum Post by run3_kn1ght) which suggested deleting the DesktopX cache. When I did that I didn't have any further problem with the Silica Calender showing in the system tray/taskbar so I was able to fix both problems that way.

Thanks for your help though.
