[SOLVED] Where can I find: A fake system tray button?

Post by BishyT »

Hey ya'll. I'm a rainmeter newbie, and have been using rainmeter so far to replace my default taskbar.

So far i've been able to place a fake taskbar image behind ObjectDock (using an edited version of Engima's taskbar), but a fancy clock on the lower right to replace the standard clock (also Enigma), and created a fake Start Button using a tutorial I found on this very forum.

Only thing is, because i've completely replaced a taskbar, i'm now missing access to my tray icons (including the rainmeter tray icon). I figured there must be a rainmeter button out there somewhere that can bring up the default tray icon window (just like how my fake Start Button brings up the start menu). Does anyone know if something like this already exists? If not, does anyone know how I would go about making one?

Well, after a lot of searching I was finally able to answer this on my own. I found a plugin avaliable at the below link that allowed you to make the system tray appear via a shortcut.

Using one of the icons from Engima (the white cog), I now have my own system tray icon. Apparently the plugin also works as a docklet.
