In Windows 7, icons in the system tray / notification look area low resolution

Here's a screenshot of my notification area / system tray (whatever it's called now) flying:

As you can see, for some programs look systray icons very low resolution and just plain bad.
I have reviewed the icon for the executable file of these programs and has determined that all of the resolutions of the icon is available (256 x 256, 48 x 48, 32 x 32, 24 x 24, 16 x 16).
I tried to correct the problem by placing a custom in the program directory file app.ico.
Nothing seems to work.
The resolution of my monitor is correctly defined in the display settings.
I talked to other users of W7 using the same programs and they report that the icons look very well for them.

I'm running a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate on a Lenovo T60 with a 'landscape' theme Windows applied (IE no programs custom theme or something like that).
As a result of this issue, maybe someone could tell me what use the resolution of the Windows icon in the system tray?
Thank you

in fact you don't have to restore your system, because maybe you have already lived a few weeks with the problem.

It worked smoothly for me.

-load a default theme
-check the advanced appearance settings
-compare the number of dimensions of each element with the decimal version of the 'size' on

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Appearance\New Schemes\Current SaveAll\Sizes\0 settings

-There should be two numbers that do not match (for me were 21 on dialog appearance and 23 in the registry, twice).
-Double-click on the registry value and write what you have on the dialog edit the data type decimal.
-Repeat for the other incompatibilities
-close the registry
-Start the Task Manager
-complete the process explorer.exe (Don't panic)
-menu file, new task run explorer.exe
-Close Task Manager
-smile
God bless you

  • want the windows defender icon in the system tray

    I want a windows Defender icioners!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    With Ken very valid points, I just want to confirm that Windows Defender will not display an icon.  This is because it is integrated into the center of the Action, which already has an icon: it is the one that looks like a flag.

    However, if you are installing Microsoft Security Essentials (and I strongly recommend that do you if you don't have an AntiVirus program), Windows Defender will automatically disabled because MSE offers the same protection (and receives updates from the same source).  However, MSE provides security of AntiVirus (Windows Defender does not protect against viruses).  In addition, MSE integrates into the center of the Action - and can be configured to display its own icon in the taskbar to your preferences.

    If it solves your problem, click on the link "Propose as answer" below and vote as useful by clicking on the green triangle for the lelft. Thank you!

  • RESOLVED: The Task Manager icon in the system tray

    I always keep my task manager running as an icon in the system tray.  After an update of software that seems to be an update of Windows XP or IE7, I can minimize is no longer my status bar task manager system; the icon is no longer present.  I have not changed the settings view in the Task Manager bar; they are all checked.  Now, I have to keep the Task Manager minimized in the taskbar instead.  [None of the taskbar settings were changed to icons in the system tray as I downloaded the SP3 for XP over 3 years ago.]  Could it have been caused by the update or y at - it a way to get the Task Manager to reduce in the tray system again?  Thank you.

    I tried all types of features troubleshooting before coming here, including a full analysis of the antiviral software from my system & checking event viewer.  I even went in the registry to see if something happened to the system tray.  BUT... The action to be performed by the most obvious and which should have been the first, I failed to do - restart.  Due to an another software update of my antiviral package yesterday, 22/02/2012, I needed to restart.  After the reboot, the Task Manager icon returns to the system tray and minimization has not caused to disappear.

    The only thing I can conclude is that something has gone wrong during the update of the software of MS Windows and installation of KB2660456, KB2647516-IE7, & KB2661637.  It was the only thing that happens so that I was with MS Paint, no browser was opened or other software packages on except what is necessary to update the files over an internet connection.  To take a hit to what it was exactly would be silly because any number of operations might have bothered with or temporarily created a small problem with the properties of the view Task Manager.

    So I chalk it up to did not not the most basic 'Fixer glitch", reboot, in my haste to find a culprit.  I hope that my blunder will remind others not not forget to start with the basics for sudden failures troubleshooting.  Thank you for your time and your advice.

    [I'm sorry; [I broke each problem statement rule with this post by do not detail what I've done, this system that I have, and what software I use and their versions.]

    Hi chris malanda

    You can remove the program from the taskbar and check if that helps. To remove a program pinned to the taskbar, open the jump list for the program, and then click remove this program from the taskbar.

  • On the system tray notifications do not appear.

    I have no idea why, but in my system tray notifications is more "pop up."  I still hear the sound and see the incontinence system tray, but the pop-up with the notification is no longer there.  For example, when a new version of windows is available, I see just the Update icon but not the box pop up.

    Someone know why it happened or how do I restore the pop up notifications?  I have a Dell Lattitude D630 and am running Windows 7 Professional.  Thank you!

    First of all, although you have gone through the notification tray properties, you may have turned off individual items in the center of the action?

    -Click on the Start button

    -Center of action type in the search box of the start menu

    -Click Action Center in the results

    -The click Change Action Center settings

    In addition, make sure that you have no notifications of ball off the power.

    -Click on the Start button

    -Type gpedit.msc in the search box on the start menu

    -Click Gpedit in results

    In the Local Group Policy Editor:

    -Left pane navigate to User Configuration > administrative templates > Start Menu and taskbar

    -Locate Turn off all balloon notifications > right click > click on change

    This value Disable > click OK > close the local Group Policy Editor

    Restart and test to determine if this solves your problem.

  • Windows 7 not connected the system event notification.

    Hello

    I have Windows 7 operating system on my laptop wireless. (it's 32 bit), lately, when I start the computer, it is very very slow and then I get this message that says: Windows 7 has no connection to the system event notification.

    I did system restore, but it did not work. I ran Fixit program but nothing happened. So what is the cause and how to fix it?

    I read a few solutions on the internet, but when I tried to follow them, I can't find certain things on my computer, that are mentioned in the instructions, so I can not complete the step by step instructions.

    Please respond to your first it will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    I understand that you get the message 'Windows 7 did not link with the event notification system. Let me ask you a few questions to better understand.

    1. When exactly do you get this error?
    2. This error occurs on a specific user account?
    3. You did a significant hardware or software change before this problem?
    4. What security software do you use?

    This conflict may have been caused by some programs launched during the startup process of Windows 7 with the services.

    I suggest you to try the following suggestions and check.

    Method 1: The value Service of event system Automatic Notification.

    To so proceed as follows:

    one), click Start or press the Windows key + R

    (b) type Services.msc in the search box and press enter.

    (c) right click on System Event Notification Service.

    (d) click on Properties , change the startup type to Automatic.

    If the computer stops during execution of the above steps, you can try to put the computer in clean boot mode and check.

    Method 2: Check safe mode

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=Windows-7

    If the computer starts quickly in safe mode, check in a clean boot

    Method 3: Perform the clean boot

    Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.
