Using W2K - newbie who never did his own theme writing:

I tried to install various themes and like many of them. A problem I discovered though was that some of my icons in the taskbar (those in the lower right corner next to the time in explorer.exe) didn't show up in the themes.

Ecspecially did I miss my ICQ (Lite-version) - but also ICQPro didn't show up... and other programs as well...

Why is that?
And how do I get them to show up in the "task-area" in whatever theme I'm using.

reboot your PC direct into LS and you should be ok. If you are not you should upgrade to a newer build.

btw the "task-area" you're referring to, is called "system tray" (or just systray) ;)
