Author and Download
It was created by [~Various people], and is distributed in the Release and Beta releases, as it's very frequently updated to add spanky new feature.
Using Geotray, you can resize the tray by hiding icons you don't need to watch all the time. Geotray will not suggest icons to hide it's all up to you. Just do a middleclick (or ctrl+leftclick) on the icon you want to hide, that brings up a menu.:
- Icon Filters
- Add To Icon Filter List
If you click here, this icon will be added to the Icon Filter List and will be hidden when the time, defined in AutoClose Timeout has passed.
If you allready have icons hidden, you need to click the expand butoon to show these. If you middleclick (or ctrl+leftclick) on a hidden icon, the menu will change a little
- Icon Filters
- Remove from Icon Filter List
You guessed it... this removes the icon from the list of the hidden ones and makes it stay visible
- Set AutoUnhide For This Icon
As of fairly recently, it enables "icon hiding" meaning that it can hide inactive icons, or icons you specify for it to hide. There are a whole heap of registry settings for this baby, so hold on...
