Right now I have 3 hard drives, and the icons look the same. We need a way to distinguish.

Also maybe a dock bar, separate from the built in notifications, because it gets confusing all jumbled together. If I had a dock bar (or tray status bar, whatever) I can put that bar where ever I want and know what is going on with ALT, NUM, CPU, MEM, Disk, Network.. etc.. Just a suggestion to have a moveable bar. I don't consider "tray status" a notification, that needs to be more prominent and make separate, in my opinion.

Oh and also you fill memory, you fill cpu, you fill network, why not hard drive? maybe a fill icon to show approx usage for I/O..something like that.

Maybe the custom icons can help with this, and I like the green, but maybe add more colors or choose our own.

This is a GREAT start, I have to say I love binary fortress, this is my 3rd product. ]]> RE: Custom Tray Icons https://www.traystatus.com/Discussions/View/custom-tray-icons/?ID=921c88e4-e7e4-48c5-82f2-a01968ea7f4a#20 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 18:38:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.traystatus.com/Discussions/View/custom-tray-icons/?ID=921c88e4-e7e4-48c5-82f2-a01968ea7f4a#20 TrayStatus No worries, glad to hear it! ]]> RE: Custom Tray Icons https://www.traystatus.com/Discussions/View/custom-tray-icons/?ID=921c88e4-e7e4-48c5-82f2-a01968ea7f4a#19 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 22:36:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.traystatus.com/Discussions/View/custom-tray-icons/?ID=921c88e4-e7e4-48c5-82f2-a01968ea7f4a#19 TrayStatus The icon choices are an awesome and perfect adjustment to Tray Status.

Hello,

I just upgraded to v2.2 and since I'm running Windows 7, the Windows 10 themed icons don't look very nice. Would BFS consider an option to toggle between the "old style" icons that were in v2.0.1 and the new ones? I don't want custom icons just an option to use the previous icon set.

I attached a small image of how both the old and new icons look on my machine.

Thanks!


Same here... I am holding off on upgrading from 2.0.1 because the Win 10 icons don't contrast with the background enough to know when Caps Lock, etc is on or off... I'm sticking with the green background until there is a better choice. ]]> RE: Custom Tray Icons https://www.traystatus.com/Discussions/View/custom-tray-icons/?ID=921c88e4-e7e4-48c5-82f2-a01968ea7f4a#15 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 19:40:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.traystatus.com/Discussions/View/custom-tray-icons/?ID=921c88e4-e7e4-48c5-82f2-a01968ea7f4a#15 TrayStatus We are planning to add the ability to choose different icon sets, so we'll definitely let you know when we've implemented that!

You're quite right. Windows Toggle Keys feature fills the bill for me.
I'd just never looked there.

TrayStatus provides the visual element missing from most laptop & tablet keyboards
Toggle Keys provides the audible element.

Thanks again

Thank you.
2) TrayStatus meets a real usability need and is v good as it stands now. Thank you again.
3) IF I understand and am using your software correctly, the various keys toggle just as they should, but VISUALLY ONLY.
..
I've just deleted a long response, because I realise you said "Toggle keys as BUILT INTO WINDOWS"
and I hadn't thought of using that option - not thinking of myself as needing such accessibility features
I will check up and post again later

Could you provide some clarification?

Also we look at the keyboard when typing, not at the screen
sO WE SEE IT'S ALL WRONG AFTERWARDS!!! :x

It would be really good if you could add a config option to MAKE A SOUND (as in Control Panel / Sounds) on Change of State

The ideal config would have a checkbox to enable/disable a dropdown of the Control Panel sounds

Then I would know when my blundering fingers had once again hit Caps Lock instead of Shift

I'd pay money for that enhancement.

I'm wondering, with HD screens and Windows 10 becoming more common place, wouldn't it be cool if the current icons are of higher-resolution / sharper/cleaner metro-like look? 8) ]]> RE: Custom Tray Icons https://www.traystatus.com/Discussions/View/custom-tray-icons/?ID=921c88e4-e7e4-48c5-82f2-a01968ea7f4a#6 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 19:22:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.traystatus.com/Discussions/View/custom-tray-icons/?ID=921c88e4-e7e4-48c5-82f2-a01968ea7f4a#6 TrayStatus It should be possible, but at the moment I can't offer an ETA on when we might be able to implement the ability to use custom icons :) ]]> RE: Custom Tray Icons https://www.traystatus.com/Discussions/View/custom-tray-icons/?ID=921c88e4-e7e4-48c5-82f2-a01968ea7f4a#5 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 03:09:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.traystatus.com/Discussions/View/custom-tray-icons/?ID=921c88e4-e7e4-48c5-82f2-a01968ea7f4a#5 TrayStatus Great utility!
