Reply to Tray icons keeps changing in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Don't know exactly which tray apps you're talking about, but I know that one of the complications is apps that update frequently (e.g., anti-virus) will change back frequently when the app gets updated (becomes a "new and different" program to Object Dock). Don't think there's much you can do about it directly. Might be best to just put the icons you use for those programs into a directory you can get to the easiest from Object Dock to make it easier to re-load them. Regar

Trivia: The date on the Opera link is March 2010. The date on the MS Advisory in OP is December 2010. Seems like the MS Advisory should have included: "We further advise that you do not hold your breath while waiting on us to patch this."

I suppose the position could be taken that the themes on the site are priced at the same price all the time as the discounted price for non-branded themes on the MyColors site, so everybody gets the discount. I'm ok with that, share the love.[e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

It's good of you to turn all these loose I.R. I saw that you have your reasons, but I expect that you could have gone the other way and just taken them all down. So kudos to you. They've all been gracing my machine for quite some time now, and to this day Knot remains one of my all-time favorite skins.

Try changing the "Mask" color in LogonXP to magic pink 255/0/255. It's probably set to some shade of black.

Regarding the grey, it could be a system color setting in the skin but I don't know for sure. If you like you could try to change it within Windowblinds Configuration similarly to the way I described here: https://forums.wincustomize.com/400010 I doubt that it would be the "Buttonface" setting but you could try to find the shade of grey that you're wanting to get rid of.
