Would it be possible to get an animated "H" icon (slightly flashing) at runtime of a script (very usefull if some backend tasks are done to indicate that the "scr(ipt)animal" is still alive ).

Maybe as an option, but I don't think I'd want that as a default (too distracting). It's going on the list but I should warn you there are quite a few items ahead of it in priority

I was thinking with the Menu command it would be nice to be able to have multiple icons. I don't know if this would be hard to do, but I assume you already have something in place with the Suspend and Pause menu items changing the icon. I was thinking with a program I have that VPN's into my work, that I would have an icon like Windows 2000's network connection icon. It would show me if I was VPN'ed in or not based on the icon that was in the System Tray.

Not a high priority.

thanks,

see if this helps... not icon but active title bar of any window.

The ability to change tray tray icon dynamically is a nice idea and something I might use myself. It's definitely going on the list, so thanks for mentioning it.

This is something I'd like too, hopefully it's not too far down the list!

eg. menu, tray, icon, C:\Windows\MyIcon.ico

By coincidence, I had just added that so feel free to redownload v1.0.12 if you want these changes right away:

Added the ability to change the script's icon while it's running. This affects both the tray and InputBox icons. Use Menu, Tray, Icon, Filename [, IconNumber].

Added the ability to display the tray menu at the current position of the mouse cursor. Among other things, this allows a custom popup menu to be shown in response to pressing a hotkey or "hot mouse button". Use Menu, Tray, Show
