Note that support ticketing for beta software is restricted to informing 2BrightSparks of issues relating to TrayOnClick, and not to resolving issues. |
TrayOnClick is simple to use. There are no unsightly launchers, no new buttons along the Windows Title bar. You will use the same familiar Minimize, Restore/Maximize, and Close buttons on the top right of your windows as you always have. The only difference is that you will be able to right-click on these buttons to perform different functions depending on the TrayOnClick settings you have chosen.
Quick Start Guide
The following section shows how TrayOnClick becomes a powerful agent for you within five minutes of installation.

Start TrayOnClick by either clicking the TrayOnClick icon, or clicking Start > All Programs > 2BrightSparks > OnClick Utilities > TrayOnClick. |
Hide or Show All Windows
The fastest way to hide or show all your windows is via the TrayOnClick program icon which is located on the Taskbar on the lower right of your computer screen when TrayOnClick is running:
The screenshot below shows an example of the pop-up menu which appears when right clicking the TrayOnClick icon after three programs have been hidden. The user has the option of selecting a specific window, or can restore all windows to the desktop in a single click:
Alternatively TrayOnClick lets you minimize your windows to the Taskbar so they can be opened with a single click of the associated icon:
Using Windows Buttons with TrayOnClick
Your standard windows minimize, restore down/maximize, and close buttons are made more powerful with TrayOnClick.
On the top right of every standard window you will find the following buttons which are used with the left mouse button:
If you have resized or restored down a window you will observe the middle button changes to the "Maximize" button:
Clicking the Maximize button by left clicking the mouse will make the window expand to fill the desktop space.
When TrayOnClick is running the following functionality is added by default to the same windows buttons when right-clicking:
Note that you can change whether the window buttons minimizes to the Tray or hides the window by altering the way TrayOnClick behaves. The next page in this help files details how, and also shows you other ways you can customize how TrayOnClick functions.
