tray icons and task icons, when the user chooses to show both types
on an active bar.
That could be implemented with no options at all, just showing the
bar's background color or bitmap.
Or much better, add a checkbox immediately after "Last item in
command list sets active buttons" labelled "Next to last item
is between tray and task buttons."
That way, the user can control its width/height, color, etc,
and even give it commands.
If we could add a user-decorated button between the two groups
like that, then it would be ergonomically workable to use one
bar with both types of icon.
---------------------------------------------------------
Here is a possible workaround which the user can implement with the
current version of PowerPro: Make two bars, one for tray things
and one for tasks. Make a monitor list item which does:
;; for bar2 below bar1:
win.move("bar2", win.left("bar1"), win.bottom("bar1") + 1)
;; for bar2 to the right of bar1:
win.move("bar2", win.right("bar1") + 1, win.top("bar1"))
Note: increase the "+1" if you want a visible gap.
Of course you can make any possible arrangement by varying those
parameters for win.move(). By placing it in the monitor list,
or a timer, it responds to dynamic changes in the size of bar1
even if you place them end to end.
To move the pair of bars you have to drag bar1 not bar2.
If you arrange them end to end, no gap, you would add a permanent
button to bar2, as a visible separator between the two types of icon.

Are you sure they are mixed? I have never seen that and cannot
make it happen here.
Here, all the tray icons are shown first, sorted the same as on
the taskbar's original tray, except in reverse order because
the system tray starts at the right and adds to the left.
If you check more carefully I think you will find that it just
seems as if they are mixed together.
I agree that it's difficult and annoying trying to spot where the
systray icons end and the others start. Therefore I never make a
single bar which shows both types of icon.
