Rainmeter Forums

Sorry to say that I'm among those that are a little short of impressed by the new Rainmeter (2.3 r1304) icon in the Sys Tray. Obviously, you are not going to please anything close to most of the people all of the time, so perhaps you could add a feature so that the icon can be changed by the user (as with main.ico and tray.ico in Utorrent).

You can change the tray icon. Add this to Rainmeter.ini:
and add the necessary Icon folder inside Skins. Mine now:

Hello.
Well, it's easier to suggest features than it is to code them. I will never be angry if a suggestion i make is not implemented.

That being said, while many people seem to love the new icon, others don't. As for myself i can't say whether i like it or not cause i can hardly see it

As it will probably be impossible to find an icon that will make everyone happy, maybe adding a possibility to load an external .png or .ico in the [Rainmeter] section of Rainmeter.ini as the tray icon would be nice.
I know it's already possible to trick this using a bitmap in tray measure but that's more tricky.
BTW, it would be nice if a custom icon could be specified in the [Rainmeter] section of a skin but that could be troublesome if several skins try to specify different icons. It would be good only for full skin suites.

You must be getting the wrong icon due to your DPI settings. Can you confirm that you do not get the white icon in the image below?

As was stated, you CAN use any ico, bmp, jpg or png image you want for the Rainmeter Notification area icon. It just must be 16x16 pixels and stored in a folder you create in your ..\Skins folder in My Documents.

Cool, where is the image file for the old one please?

Here.

This test version (2.3-r1306) should fix the icon with high DPI. Let us know what you think.

I still have the old icon (r1306)
This icon is the only one i find inside Rainmeter.exe and there is no icon in the dll so not sure where the new one is

Sure. You can also take a flight from New York to Sidney, then to Moscow, then to Paris. Thought it's easier to take a direct flight to Paris

Hum, OK now i :hush:

Thank you for that. ...nothing makes me feel more of a dimwit than waking up to find I've suggested a feature that alreay exists
