The unread mail icon would remain animated, but show the same icon for each frame of the animation. There are a couple of drawbacks to this approach, one of which is that TB! obviously wouldn't know each frame is the same, so the static animation would flicker somewhat. At least it would on my box, because windows task manager minimised to the tray does (which might be a bug). -- Keith Anderson The Bat! v1.61 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
