Using images on the taskbar

(1/1)

m_s:
Difficult to express this as a Subject line... 

I run WindowBlinds, and a few of the themes that I like imitate the Mac Tiger look, and so they replicate the Spotlight image on the taskbar (see image).  I really dislike it when a Windows machine has an Apple image on the Start button (why not just buy a Mac?), so I always go with themes that have a Windows Start button, and I don't like the Spotlight image either - but I do really love these themes (and I do really love a lot of Mac designs). 

What I would really like is to be able to use the Spotlight image to start FARR.  Is this possible?  Can anyone guide me?

jgpaiva:
Is that a simple image, or a button that really does something?

m_s:
It's just an image, but I want to use it as a button - is possible?

jgpaiva:
The best i can do is this:
Make you a ahk script that has a invisible button right in the place that image is, and then associate that button's behaviour to launch the program you want. This will take you about 1-2mb of ram (quite a lot for a button ;) ), and I'm not completelly sure that it will work. (windows taskbar tends to not let anything come in front of it :( )
