TBTray does nothing? "v2" #5

Closed ch3mn3y closed 2 years ago

ch3mn3y commented 4 years ago

I seem to have similar issue to one reported by @mmodler. Unfortunately :

  1. moving TBtray out of TBs folder or even to the different nonUAC protected drive does nothing. There is no indication it is working (except TBtray.exe process in Task Manager).
  2. mail.tabs.drawInTitlebar is set to false (I read the Readme file), but it didn't change a thing...
  3. the windows ends in "- Mozilla Thinderbird".

Tried killing the task and restarting it. After about 10 moves of the files I tried registering it and rebooting OS. Still nothing.

I use x64 68.2.2 TB, meaning latest available stable version. It's cleanly installed to be sure there is no problems.

Are you using the TBTray version from the "64-bit" folder? If you do, I have no idea what else could cause the problem. If you have Visual Studio or any other debugger installed, you could double-check if TBTray.dll is successfully injected into Thunderbird by attaching the VS debugger to thunderbird.exe, pausing the execution and checking which modules are loaded - TBTray.dll should be among them.

I use x64 as this is the TB i have. Will check tomorrow (23/11PM here) with VS if it works.

Same issue here

so, on the off chance somebody else is like me, make sure that you use the TBTray version (32bit or 64bit) that your TB itself is. I didn't even realize I was using the 32-bit TB still, because everything else I use is 64-bit .. D'OH!

I know you don't support this tool but following this thread I'll write that it also does not work for me.

I've tried both 32 and 64 bit version to be sure. TBTray.exe process is active, minimizing Thunderbird works as default, to task bar, no extra tray icon. Closing Thunderbird just closes it.

Setting mail.tabs.drawInTitlebar changes layout of Thunderbird by adding separate bar for title only (classic Windows look) but does not help TBTray to do its job.

I have English Windows but Polish locale so window title looks like this: Opcje - Mozilla Thunderbid.

However, alternative solution is working for me so I'm fine.

If you're still using TBTray, give v0.10.4 a try. It was possible that a window like Thunderbird's password prompt was hooked instead of the main window, which would explain the observed behaviour.
