- The new system tray protocol developed in collaboration with the <a \

overhaul of the old systray specification which has been in use for a long time. The \
old systemtray using small embedded windows did not allow for any kind of control \
from the systemtray over its contents, limiting the flexibility for the user and \
application developer at the same time. While the new systemtray supports both the \
old and new standard, application developers are encouraged to upgrade their \
