    Is it possible to have a custom icon size in the system tray? I would like to be able to overlay a timer (hours:minutes) on top of my system tray icon, but due to the default size (16x16), there simply isn't enough room to display the timer in a visually appealing manner. Thanks, Adam

      that would be a cool feature and i've often wanted to do the same. but i haven’t found a method of doing so :( i maybe wrong but i don’t think it is possible to have a icon greater than 16x16 in the sys tray.
