Systray/Taskbar issues - can anyone help?

from Stardock Forums
For some reason, the system tray and taskbar in my widget don't show. Rephrase - they show in desktopx BUILDER, but not when I'm running the widget.

MCP is enabled and running, and the files have all been moved into the appropriate folder. However, the system try refuses to work.

As for the taskbar, I've absoutely no idea why that won't show.

Bear in mind, a lot of the scripting in this widget is not my own work, I'm not trying to pass it off as such, and this is only for my own personal use, so please, don't yell at me for using other people's script.

The taskbar and systray should appear when you click on the far left icon (little computer) - the taskbar is the arrow pointing down, and the systray should appear in the space next to it.

If anyone can help with either of these problems, I'd be very grateful - it's annoying that I can't get rid of my startbar just because of this.

EDIT: Just had to take the uploaded file down, as I remembered it has my email address and password automatically set in it!

In the world of development, looking at and tinkering with the source of others is really the best way to get more familiar with things yourself. There's no problem with doing that and I both practice and encourage it. It would of course be crossing the line to submit this work as your own, but you have taken claim to the contrary, so no worries

If this were significantly altered enough or working in conjunction to help compliment something else, you could submit this work and include the work of others, provided you obtain (and include) proof of their permission.

Are you able to run other widgets in client mode and have them show taskbar/systray items?

Would you be able to post the theme you're using somewhere and reference a link to that here?

Okay, I've uploaded it as a .dxpack, and the only thing I've taken out is the email checker, which doesn't affect the taskbar or systray in any way.

Just to reiterate, when running the widget, the systray and taskbar can be found by clicking on the far left icon (small computer) - the systray ought to be visible on the bottom line, and the taskbar hould appear when you click on the arrow pointing down.

In the builder, the objects in question are called:
Launchbar:Systray and Launchbar:Tasks

The link is here: http://www.freefileupload.net/file.php?file=files/250507/1180098762/TotalControl.dxpack

Sorry if that's a crappy site to upload to, I just picked one at random.

EDIT: Just double checked, and it's the system>task browser, not the taskbar.
