    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?

    Switching back to desktop mode clicks on tray icons

    Hi Wouter

    Right click an empty part of your Taskbar and choose Taskbar Settings

    On the resulting page, click 'Select which icons appear on the Taskbar'

    Does the WinDynamicDesktop icon not appear in that list of icons?

    If not:

    Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)

    On the Startup Tab of Task Manager, does that tray icon (not the app itself) appear as one of the Startup items?

    What are these invisible icons in my Taskbar Tray? they don't respond to right clicks either

    Switching back to desktop mode clicks on tray icons

    It appears in the taskbar setting and a WinDynamicDesktop appears in the taskmanager as well, though I'm not sure if that is the app or the tray icon. Also, changing whether the icon is hidden or not did not fix the issue when I tried it before.
