Systray2 magic pink issues Thread last updated on 2004-03-19 10:15:36

Greets.
I'm trying to use systray2-2.0.2 outside of an lsBox for the first time ever.

The background image has the corners rounded with magic pink and all the magic pink is well within the edge boundaries so it's not getting stretched.

In an LsBox, this always ended up producing a box with rounded corners and having the magic pink be interpreted as transparent.

When used on it's own, systray2 is showing black where it's supposed to be transparent.

Anyone ever encounter and surmount this problem?

I've tried using a different tray module but no other tray mods have the OnAdd/OnDel capability (as far as I can tell anyway)

You could try vtray which is an updated version of systray. I don't know if it has the same problem or not though.

if just vtray would scale icons properly... ;)

neither vtray nor systray scale icons properly so that's not an issue for me, but vtray doesn't have support for OnAdd/OnDel as far as I can tell.

*update*

Just did some fiddling and I've got OnAdd to work with VTray but OnDel doesn't seem to work at all - is the VTray version something different?

OnDel works find for my self using vtray. Here's how I've used it:
SystrayOnAdd !VWMExec !Divide04Resize ^@#d^Divide04TotalWidth-SystrayCurrentWidth-DateTimeLabelWidth-DivideWidth-1^@#d^ $Divide04Height$
SystrayOnDel !VWMExec !Divide04Resize ^@#d^Divide04TotalWidth-SystrayCurrentWidth-DateTimeLabelWidth-DivideWidth-1^@#d^ $Divide04Height$

maybe I'm the only one having this problem...basically, OnAdd and OnDel used to work perfect. but then I put my theme into an LSBox, and now it only USUALLY works. but every so often, it's just one icon length too small. never too large. and this doesn't happen all the time, and I haven't found an actual pattern, it just seems to happen whenever it feels like. has anyone else had this problem?

I'm using a totally transparent systray (same dll version) w/ not issues. Maybe my code will help you sort out some issues. Note two versions of icon coloring are commented out. The 1 line color scheme where black replaces pink might be of interest.

; tray bg color: transparent
SystrayBGColor FF00FF

; icon color
; black replaces pink
;SystrayIconSaturation "254"
; light no color icons
SystrayIconHueIntensity "50"
SystrayIconSaturation "0"
SystrayIconHueColor "CCCCCC"
; dark no color icons
;SystrayIconHueIntensity "70"
;SystrayIconSaturation "0"
;SystrayIconHueColor "000000"
