Feature Request - Do not show selected systray icons

Marshall-Brooks commented 1 week ago

@m417z I started discussing this here: https://github.com/ramensoftware/windhawk-mods/issues/1170 but I noticed some of the UWP Spy Window that I included doesn't show up.

PS Tray Factory does work and works nicely for this. Tray Control and the AHK script I posted do not work any longer.

I made a little bit of progress: Above is the entry for the Windows Security Center Icon. If I go to the entry above it - Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.ContentPresenter - and set Visiblity=Collapsed. The icon goes away, which is part of what I want to do. However, it still leaves a blank Space where the icon "Used" to be: Remaining issues:

I don't know how to get rid of the grid space used by the icon.
There are a lot of controls with the same name. I don't know how to hide the .ContentPresenter for the icon I want to remove as opposed to the ones I don't want to remove.
Ideally, I would want the mod to never show this icon - i.e. if I closed and re-opened the program that I want hidden, the icon should never show up. However, I would be okay with the program simply removing the icon if it existed and having to wait a bit after startup before the mod ran - but that makes it awkward for windhawk b/c I don't want to restart WH after 5 minutes nor wait 5 minutes before starting WH.

It's not a good fit for an enhancement issue for Windows 11 Taskbar Styler, since you're basically looking for a specific style. You might also want to check/ask here.

It's also not a good for an enhancement issue for Taskbar Tray Icon Spacing, since it's not about spacing.

You can turn them on and off without mods in windows settings.

@m417 - Agreed, it would be best as a new separate modification, however, it does look like it could be controlled from Taskbar Styler. I use that for a lot of things not specifically styling - for example, hiding the "bell" notification icon.

I'll ask in the thread you linked to.

@HenryTheVacuum - True, except that it often doesn't work correctly.

@m417z - When you get a chance, could you look at https://github.com/ramensoftware/windows-11-taskbar-styling-guide/issues/134 . I have most of what I was trying to do working in UWPSpy, but not in Windhawk, and I'm not sure if it isn't possible, or I just don't have the correct syntax. Thanks!

The Taskbar setting menu for this is confusing. If you set the icon to "Off" it shows up in the "hidden" overflow menu, but it is still present. If you set the icon to "On", it shows up on the taskbar. There is no way to set the icon to "Not Shown At All" in windows settings.
