Hi there

I would like to completely hide certain system tray icons that I never use. I know that I can go into "Customize..." and set certain icons to "Hide icon and notifications", but this just moves them into the area I've highlighted.

I want to remove some icons which I will never use from the highlighted area, such as Chrome's notifications bell (which I cannot find a way to remove in Chrome's settings), or the AutoIt icon which tells me I have a script running.


Thanks in advance

You can do what you want by using the relevant program's configuration to tell them not to display a tray icon. Assuming of course, that such is configurable, check the program's docs. In the case of Chrome (which I won't go near) you may be out of luck.
