Hi all,
since last week i have also noticed the "bug" with the tooltips as TucknDar pointed out, don't know if as tranglos said is a winxp issue, but i haven't noticed the tooltip in any other application as far as I remember. I also don't know if the farr main window is created/destroyed from the tray or it's simply hidden/showed, if it is destroyed, definitely is a winxp bug, if it is only hidden, maybe it could be a farr bug.

I'm also wainting eagerly for the plugin system. It would be cool a plugin to interact with foobar2000.

Hi guys, thanks again for your kind comments, i think i should start to print this thread and hang it in my fridge...
I didn't have to really do much pixel work. Basically i did the basic shapes, resized them to 32x32, a little make up, resized again to 16x16 and arranged and added the final touches. I fixed what ps messed up resizing the image
Anyways, i see you like the blue one of my last post. I can't do it right now, but the next time i post i'll upload some variants with blue tones (or with another colors if you want). The shape you like is the one of the last 4 variants, not the shape of the first, right?

**** EDITED *****
Here's my "final" version unless somebody has another suggestion

Ok, but with less flare it would look like less web 2.0 .... just kidding 
I removed the highlight made the drop "pointyer" or more accute and darkened the drop, here are some color variations (the colors are just for testing/showing) The fisrt one is another variation of the drop's shape. If somebody want an specific color, feel free to tell me. Also if somebody wants the .psd i can send it.
Btw, mouser i like the robot-drop name for the icon.
Thanks all for your comments, i really appreciate them.

Ok, here's the robot version.
I've also attached a purple version to see how it would look in another color.
Enjoy

Hi everybody,

@Farmsteader
When in my reply i said "you" i meant "you all = everybody". I was trying to say that it's easy for me to change the icon so i'm open to suggestions from everybody. And in fact yours was a good suggestion. I've realized that the robot is something distinctive, and it should be in the icon. Or at least a modification of the robot. The robot ist clearer or easier to recognize as the FARR icon that the F at least, for users of the previous versions.
And thank you for your ideas/critiques. In fact i made the icon because i was messing with photoshop making another thing when i read this post. So i hadn't exactly an idea, i was just playing. Unfortunately, right now, something came up, but when i have some time, it would be nice to have ideas or directions to play with. And of course, if i could make an icon that appeal to other users it would be cooler

@jgpaiva
Thank you so much for the script!, it'll make my job much easier.

@mouser
Thanks for adding my icon, and for adding me to the beta (or alpha) testing

Thanks all for your kind comments, i didn't expect such reaction. And above all thanks to mouser for HIS great design. I'll be glad to try v2

@Farmsteader
Yeah, i can add whatever you like. It's a .psd and all are paths/shapes, so it will be no problem, even i can change the color if you want. Later today, if i have some spare time, i will try to add the robot. But i think that for the 16x16 version i'll need to do some pixel work. And if someobody is interested, i can upload the .psd too. And you are right about the "clarity" of the 16 version. Is that why i wanted the program for, in order to see it "in action".

Do you like the shape? I can turn it back to a circle shape if you want. I made it that way to give it a bit of distinction. I like tray icons which have different shapes. It's easier to identify them.

(I'm not an english speaker, so forgive my typographic/ortographic/gramatic mistakes)

Thanks Masu, but  in fact, i've just seen that there is a problem with the highlight of that .png.. :-/
Anyways, that is only a preview. Here, you have the rest of the icons.

Do i need v2 to change the icon, right?

Hi, i've made my own tray icon. Do i need an unreleased version to try it? Or there's some way to load it into v1.13?
