INSTALLATION, CONFIGURATION, AND CUSTOMIZATION

To hide or unhide icons, or to hide only inactive icons, click the Customize

button. You are presented with a list of icons that have made an appearance at

one time or another in the notification area. Click an entry and then click the

drop-down list and change its status to whichever one suits your needs (see

Figure 3.26).

Figure 3.26. You can change the way icons appear in the notification area.

A few words about the Hide when inactive option: When this box is

selected, any icons that have not been active for a while will “disappear” and

be replaced by a left-facing chevron in the notification area. You can see the

chevron in the preview box above the check boxes. Your inactive icons can

be briefly redisplayed by clicking the chevron, which scoots to the left and

shows you all the icons again. If you want to click an icon, click quick; the

chevron gives you only a few seconds’ time before concealing the icons

again.
