There may be ways in newer OSes to change that, but in 98 I've never encountered anything that changes this behavior. Seems to be a hard-wired default.

Glenn9999 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 (edited) 32x32???I thought 16x16...I've been using 32x32 in my programs for system tray icons and have no problems. Actually, though, I've been using icons with the value of GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXICON)xGetSystemMetrics(SM_CYICON). I just tested and on ME and XP both it equates to 32x32. Coincidentally, this is the only dimension that works with the LoadIcon function, so it definitely works. Windows might be scaling the icons down, though. I never really measured it or found anything explicitly stating what the system notification area uses.32x32 works though, anyhow.
