Hello.
I want to use Traystatus without installing it.
So I want to use the zip version.
However, there is a warning that:

Code
Copy
Select All

This no-installer version is ONLY for people interested in testing TrayStatus
TrayStatus should be installed using the 'Download Installer Now' button above to work 100% correctly

My question is: what exactly doesn't work correctly in the non-installer version as compared to the installed version?

Thank you.

If TrayStatus isn't installed it can't run with uiAccess which can prevent it from reading data that it needs to function. You should be fine with the basic features though.

Thanks for your reply Jon.
What features in particular use uiAccess?

Trigger rules, and the double-click tray icon to change key state won't work if an elevated window (e.g. regedit) is focused. Otherwise, everything else should function correctly
