OD2: Issue with system tray?

System icons are not displayed

from Stardock Forums

I have a Win7 64-bit system and I'm having some problems trying to set the taskbar. I want it to be like the old OD but I don't know how to get rid of the Windows taskbar. Has anybody managed to do it?

 

Edit: Nevermind, I found it under settings. Great job, it works perfectly on Win7 64-bit!

Hi Missoctavia,

Hit the "Settings" tab near the top of the UI, you'll find a checkbox to "hide windows taskbar".

If you're looking to change what is on your dock (tray/taskbra/etc), you'll want to go to the "On My Dock" settings category for the dock in question, and look in the 3rd column. There's a link for "Enable taskbar / system tray".

Thanks.

I spoke too soon about the system tray. The actual system icons aren't showing up--I mean the speakers, battery life, wifi, etc. Program icons like the antivirus, firewall or OD do show up. I took a screenshot with the system icons marked with an arrow:

Missoctavia:

If you have not yet rebooted after installing OD2, could you please try doing so? If you already have, do the icons show up when you click to "show all tray icons"?

To clerify, the problem is that certain icons show up in the list for choose-icons, but then do not show up in the tray itself. Correct?

Correct. But it's only the system icons like sound, network, battery life.

 

When I select 'show all icons', all icons are displayed properly, including the system icons that I mentioned above. But when I uncheck that box, the extra icons dissapear including the ones that are supposed to be displayed. FYI, I did reboot.

runnin 7 x64 as well, and simply put, it doesn't show all actual icons from the windows system tray, like kaspersky internet security 2010, and a few others, aren't listed at all

Interesting, took a look at mine and yeah my NOD32 antivirus icon isn't showing up at all, not even in the checklist. Icons NOT showing up AT ALL include:

Action Centre
NOD32
Network
Speakers (Volume Control)
O&O CleverCache
O&O DriveLED

OS: Win7x64

Check your dock is actually wide enough to list/show them all.

My Kaspersky shows fine.... 17 icons in the tray...17 in the doc tray...;)

the most annoying thing is that skype is unusable with OD-tray. I would hide my windows taskbar immediately if skype was useable without it...........

OK this is just weird, came home from work today and looked at my Systray dock and I see the following showing up:
Network
Speakers
NOD32

Took a look at the "Configure System tray icons" and they are showing up there as well with check boxes. However if I unselect "Show icons at all times" and instead check off the individual icons the above 3 will NOT show up on the dock.
