Tray Icon - Any way to disable it?

Post by Tiberian »

I understand that some people might find this new addition to SABnzbd a wonderful thing, but as my browser is open effectively 24/7 and I have SABnzbd always running too, I know what's going on and I don't need yet another tray icon for no relevant reason - I've gone through every option in 0.70, gone through the ini file and searched for "tray" and icon and whatever and... well, I'd like to disable or stop the tray icon from being created or actively running, if at all possible. I can always simply roll back to the previous version (which I never had any issues with, honestly), but I would like to keep current.

I sure hope this is something that's possible, and if it's not, perhaps for a 0.71 release it should be an option that end users have a choice with.

Already got 8 icons in the tray and they are only there for specific reasons as I'm one that strives for efficiency and keeping redundancy to a minimum hence me not needing an icon for SABnzbd since I've always got access to it in my browser anyway.

If anyone has any suggestions (even if that means rolling back to the prior version), I'd sure like to hear 'em, just don't get all hater and flames on me, will ya? :D

ps
Obviously I'm running this on Windows with all the references to the "tray" icon - Windows 7 Professional x86 to be specific. Thanks.

DOH!!! win_menu doesn't do much if people are looking for "tray" I guess, but thanks for the info (and yes it worked). :)

So, just to clarify in case anyone asks (it could happen), to disable the tray icon functionality in 0.70, Config -> Special and uncheck the win_menu option (on by default), save changes, restart SABnzbd and it's back to the good old clean efficient no muss no fuss results.

OMG, this saved my sanity. For over a year I've been watching my whole icon try shift to the right and back because the sabznbd icon was flickering and causing all the icons around it to reposition once a second. This thread saved me ditching sabznbd for something else and having to redo all my tv cord cutting setup.


Damn I love forums. THANKS
