Show in Windows Toolbar?
« on: December 31, 2021, 12:17:40 AM »
Unless I am missing something, the program is always hidden from teh windows toolbar - and doesn't open when selected from the System Tray

Can this be changed (if not, can it be made optional?)

I prefer it to be in the toolbar when active like other Windows programs - it makes it easy to access when I am playing a full screen game (press windows key, click)

If you're referring to the taskbar (where the Windows logo/start menu button usually resides), VoiceAttack is shown there by default.

If it's not shown in the taskbar, but shown in the system tray, you have enabled the "Minimize to System Tray" option on the "General" tab of the VoiceAttack options window.

However, clicking the system tray icon should also bring up VoiceAttack's main window.
Note that windows/applications that minimize to the system tray should not be minimized or restored using the "Perform a Window Function" action, as minimizing to the system tray is not actually a Windows feature and applications manage that state internally by showing a system tray icon and hiding their own window. Forcing the window to show or minimize can desynchronize that internal state (this is a Windows limitation).
