Tray (Notification area) system acting weird icons.
For the last few days I've noticed a problem with my system tray icons, when I run my mouse over them (by chance or to check the status of the battery etc) I noticed that the highlight icon remains highlighted, even if I move the mouse away. This happens for each icon in the system tray, becomes the more times I move the mouse on the icon the darker background. I also observed the changing context of solid color to a random icon like google chrome.
I've included two screenshots as reference.
Try to re - install your graphics drivers. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your Windows (if don't know what to choose, choose the drivers of Windows 8 Preview of consumption).

Notification area and the gray icon
I have Windows 7 Premium. Most of the system icons, including the network and sound in the area of system icons is greyed out and I can't verify that they have their show in the taskbar. The only one not not grey is the clock. I have tried many different ideas on the internet, but nothing helped. I would make my ordinary icons in the taskbar, but not the system ones. How can I get back them? I have them and do not know what happened.
Problem solved with my tech and restore from a free version of Macrium Reflect to the C drive. Fortunately, I had a backup from before I lost system icons. Thank you all for your help.

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 youin 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' onHKEY_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-smileGod bless you -

System notification area icons... How assets
Until the last update, I could control what icons system has shown in the notification area. Now, the options, with the exception of "The clock" are grayed out and I can't select them. How can I select the network, Volume, and power again? The Notification area is selectable from the taskbar and Start Menu properties, but the choices are grayed out now!

How can I permanently delete an icon from the notification area?
Whenever I start an icon composed of the white black '9' in a field number appears in the Notification area of my desktop tool bar.
Whenever I start, I have 'customize' on the toolbar and "hide" icon. It always comes back.
Apparently, it has no function. Make a right click on it, in the hope of finding an option 'discard', produces no response.
