Hi Marcus,

I'd like to second this enhancement request, thanks EnderFFX for posting about it.
  • 1) ability to specify alternative icon to have our own "flashing" animation

    2) option to disable the flashing altogether
Here are some further ideas for added functionality you may want to consider while you're at it:
  • 3) ability to "programmatically" specify the alternative icon would allow us to communicate back to the user by dynamically changing what alt icon is active while the compiled macro runs... a red one might indicate an error condition that needs attention, a green one might indicate all is well, etc.

    4) ability to "programmatically" turn the icon flashing on or off as the program runs... again to communicate something to the user... as the flashing will draw the eye much more than just a steady icon.

    5) * ability to code a right click menu for the system tray icon, see existing enhancement request:

    [Open] Is a Right-Click Menu for System Tray Icon Possible?
* Sadly, if I want this ability today, I have to use something other than Macro Scheduler. Almost any app these days gives you a right click menu on the system tray icon... so it would be nice to have this same ability in our compiled macros. Marcus please consider adding this...
Agree with everything said here.

I'm with jpuziano on this. The ability to change or disable the alternative icon and a right click menu would be a great addition.
