Aquarium Desktop tray icon suggestion...

...or, the removal thereof.

from Stardock Forums
Any chance someone could implement an option to not display the tray icon? It's just that, like WB, when I have it all loaded and my own preferences set, I don't need to access it unless I want to make changes, which I can do by using the start-menu icon, saving taskbar real-estate in the process...

...and yes, I am a desktop real-estate miser.

I know this isn't what you wanted, but have you tried to "always hide the icon" in taskbar properties? That would solve it for now anyway, until Stardock could implement something.

Right-click the taskbar > click Properties > click Customize > find the icon you want to hide, and click the drop-down menu > then select always hide this icon.

Thanks KiloKrash, that will do nicely in the mean-time!

It's something I always forget, as I have always disabled the "hide inactive icons" function for years now. Old habits and all that...

Thanks buddy.

Hmmm... now that I've done that, I've discovered that the "real estate" formerly occupied by the Aquarium icon is now being occupied by the "show hidden icons" icon. LOL... oh well.

If you mean the arrow, then yes, that is something you can only get rid of by not having so many icons...

Yeah, I mean I don't even have too many; Skype / µtorrent (when in use)/ Zone Alarm / Mcafee AV / Speaker, and that's it... but like I said, I'm a real miser when it comes to desktop real-estate.

Yep, when you put it like that, it's pretty ridiculous...
