Look in to source and you can found this part to create the Notify Icon,Load the icons and the Timer part for Blinking icons

Mihail · January 25, 2012, 12:20:34 AM

this project in fasm . . .

Mihail · January 25, 2012, 02:19:23 AM

so . . . someone has ideas how to implement it on masm32 ?

Gunner · January 25, 2012, 02:25:36 AM

Uh, the same exact way you did it in FASM. You have no code in your MASM zip. Where is SetTimer, Shell_NotifyIcon and the rest of your FASM code?

Mihail · January 25, 2012, 02:38:45 AM

I do not know how to implement this in masm . . .

should be pretty easy :P
i will have a look at it, tomorrow

i started out by examining the icons
there are 25 icons in the project
however, only 10 are unique :P
we can use icons 1 through 5 and 16 through 20 - only need 10
of course, we'll have to add a little code to select the right icon at the right time
but it will eliminate ~36 Kb from the resource section

eyes open:
1 = 6 = 11
2 = 7 = 12
3 = 8 = 13
4 = 9 = 14
5 = 10 = 15

eyes closed:
16 = 21
17 = 22 (22 has a flaw)
18 = 23
19 = 24
20 = 25

we could probably reduce it further by creating a single icon file with the 10 icons
we'll worry about that later

size of project does not matter :)

dedndave · January 25, 2012, 02:08:04 PM
