I’ve been away from Litestep for a few years (Like three) so please forgive me if these suggestions mimic functions that are already present. Bare with me this may be a bit long.
I have a couple of suggestions for the Systray module.
First, I’d like to see Systray produce a couple of dynamic values (for this example’s sake we’ll call them SystrayVisibleX, and SystrayVisibleY) these would be the numeric value of total visible pixels (including bitmap, icons, and spaces between icons). These two variables would be very useful when SystrayAutoSize is being used. With them in place we could do really neat things like
SystrayX $ResolutionX-SystrayVisibleX$ ;systray docked to the right edge
or (and this is the real reason I would like to see this)
TaskbarWidth $ResolutionX-SystrayVisibleX-100$
This would allow us to have the Taskbar, and Systray work in a manner a more like explorer, and make systrays with only a few icons obsolete.
Second, I’d like to see tray filtering like in WinXP, so that the systray would be really, really useful. Have something like;
*Systrayfilter Show ICQ.exe (for always visible)
*Systrayfilter Hide PTS.exe (for always hidden)
then with something like !ToggleSystrayFilter we could get it to show all or just the visible tagged icons. Having an AutoFilterDelay would be nice too, for all the icons that aren’t flagged.
I hope I haven’t gone too crazy with my ideas.
