Right-click on your taskbar, select properties/ notification area and uncheck"hide inactive icons" See if that helps.

What WB are you using? Have you tried another skin,the default skin, or a re-boot? You might want to post your WB info here.Maybe someone else has seen this.

In WB config set taskbar size to skin decides, I would guess it is set to small taskbar size and the content margins of the skin for the system tray are set to close together causing icons to not show.

I tried to reproduce the effect on my system by selecting "small taskbar". This made the taskbar thinner, but the icons were still there.

As the author of that skin, I'd like to know about any glitches. But it seems to be something else as PumkiN_KinG has tried other skins and had the same issue.

I have found that I have this problem sometimes. If I right click and lock the taskbar, then unlock it, stretch it to double size, then shrink it back, all is well. Seems like it happens to me with several skins. Just a thought.

This happens every time I update WindowBlinds on my system, XP SP2c and now XP SP3. It works itself out after about 6 or 8 reboots. One or two from a cold start. I have talked to many people who have this problem with XP. I did however, find a work-around from someone.

Simply Log Off and Log back On. This will cause the user interface to redraw the icons in the task bar. Works for me.
