Hi all,
I'm finding that my 16x16 icon is not being faithfully rendered
by Windows in the system tray. Windows seems to be doing some
sort of colour 'averaging', with the result that the icon looks,
well, not right.
I've verified that the image being displayed in the system tray
is actually 16x16 - it's just that the pixels are not precisely
the same as in the icon definition. The correct icon pattern is,
however, shown in an application window and also in a task bar
'minimised' icon.
I've experimented with other 16x16 icons, and some seem to escape
this 'averaging' and are rendered faithfully in the tray. I've
searched all my references, and can only find scant info about
the system tray - certainly nothing of use here.
Can anyone shed any light on this ?
Thanks -
Paul
