[Bug]: Unable to get the Tray Icon out of the overflow menu

[vadjle]

What happened?

When enabling the Windows Virtual Desktop Helper tray icons in the Windows Settings. Only the Previous and Next Desktop Icons are visible in the system tray.

After a reboot the option for the tray icon indicator in the Windows Settings is toggled off again. Toggling it back on does not resolve the issue.

Hi @vadjle , are you sure its not just hidden in the expand menu? Best, -dan

Hi @dankrusi , it is hidden in the expand menu. The issue is that the setting in windows to make it always visible on the tray (and not in the expand menu) does not work. That same setting works for the two < > icons for changing windows.

So I get an image like this with the < > icons and no desktop indicator:

This is the only icon that does not respect my setting in Windows. All other applications and icons are visible when I select them to be always shown in the taskbar.

Okay thanks - my feeling is that Windows 11 uses not the ID of the icon, but the tooltip/name of the icon. The number icon changes the tooltip I believe. I will send you a test version so that you can confirm if that solves it.
