#LoadIcon Filepath (Directive)

Post by Animan8000 » 20 May 2022, 12:08

Why?
If you use the Menu Command, even if it's on the first line, then you will see for a split second the default AHK Icon in the traybar. This might be slightly annoying if you intend to not compile the script nor modify AHK itself (like with Resource Hacker) but wish to have a different icon from the very beginning when clicking on a particular .ahk file.

That's why I had this directive as a suggestion in mind, to solve that problem.


Thanks! :wave:

Not really. For this case I mean if the user actually wants to have the traybar, not hide it.

You can show the icon again after you changed it, eg,

Code: Select all

#NoTrayIcon 					; avoid showing the default icon
TraySetIcon "Shell32.dll", 174 	; change the icon
A_IconHidden := false 			; show it
Cheers.
