Yup, I have it set that way, but since (even after completely uninstalling FW and deleting the settings from *ALL* logins on my computer) it *STILL* doesn't show up in my system tray, I'm gonna have to turn off that option and set it so that if I click the Close button, it shuts down... I hate losing the convenience of the tray icon, but since it seems to be broken, there's no point in trying to use it, now is there? lol

And yes, before you ask, when I uninstalled it and deleted all the settings, I made sure to re-download it from the main FW site and used that version to re-install it, just to be certain that I had the most recent version.

We havent touched that part of the limewire code, honestly. If this problem occurs with limewire too (with equivalent version), then please report it to them. If the problem only happens within frostwire, I will have another look at it.

I tryed with limewire (actual version) and older Versions of frostwire, the ikon shows up normal, and only with FW 4.10.9 beta i see the problem as described.
running old NT4-sp6 and JAVA 1.5

same with mine. the FW 4.10.9 beta running with Java 1.5.0_06 doesn't appear in the system tray. My LW 4.9.37 pro and my FW 4.9.37 beta do appear (of course the latter one isn't installed at present, but was a couple days ago).
So, when closing FW 4.10.9 beta, it disappears completely (means, it also does not appear in the task manager) but when I am opening it again after a minute or 2, it is still running with all downloads and uploads active . However, when I keep it running over night, I'll get to the computer in the morning and it has disappeard (closed) completely, though I've only minimized it the evening before (not tried to hide it active in the system tray) .
Any ideas? (besides deleting the 'theme' folder, which I've tried already)
Cheers

Hi,

Trying round, i just installed Limewire 4.10.9, and later suddenly the system tray with Frostwire also worked ?!

There is no reason why this should help, but sometime things work without any reason.

But they shouldn't do so, I guess!!
Just ask some of the developers, putting their fate in the hand of "magic" ain't exactly a science (if I'm not mistaken)
It's like to get Linux running you should install first XP.....

All I can say is AFAIK FW at least initially adopts the LW preferences. So if you've already deleted the FW prefs & then installed LW, then perhaps the fresh prefs have fixed it. LW 4.10 keeps its prefs in a different location to earlier versions. Actually in the same location as the FW preferences; ie: inside the hidden folder called "Application Data". Perhaps that has some relevance.

nope none of these options helped me at all

This is probably due to the native code for the tray referencing the LimeWire.ico file directly. Try putting a LimeWire.ico file into the frostwire installation dir, and if the tray icon appears it is this problem.
