Hi,
Does anybody know how I can change the image of my running application, like Skype does when a new notification has happened? Effectively, I am wanting to update the running taskbar image by overlaying a numerical number to show the number of notifications in my app

Hope that makes sense

Richard

I haven't tried what you asked about, but just another thought on the subject... You could also use a System Tray icon - those tend to be easier to change than application taskbar icons.
