Alternatively it may have to do with icon caching - although on the plugin profile that is being talked about that would seem to be an unlikely cause. If loading uberbox 1.4 & running, say, 5 IconBoxes (as in bbIconBox) accelerates the symptoms, then indeed it may be icon caching.

Must be a Vista/x64-specific problem though because I'm not seeing any such problems under WinXP (running on top of explorer, not as main shell).

I found a location in my tray code where I am leaking Icon handles returned from CopyIcon, so that may explain the climb in handle use and possibly the problem.

And my brother gets the problem on XP 32, but I don't get it on Vista 64, so it appears to be dependant on the type of usage the PC gets rather than the OS

I got the problem, or something similar, on Vista 32. I can't make it happen though, and it's rare. It only seems to happen when I have utorrent running for a long time, but their connection is mere speculation.

Thanks for the new release, the taskbar is much improved!

uttorent updates its tooltip a lot, so this actually makes me think it might be due to the icon leak in the tray code. I just need get my main pc set up again so I can test a new build and then I'll post a new version with the icon leak fixed.

the thing is, i dont have this problem on vista x64 with the latest (32bit) bblean...

I have released 0.2.1

This fixes an icon leak in the new tray code. I believe this leak was responsible for the hangs that people have been seeing after using it for a while.
The tray icon hang under Win 95 also appears to have been fixed by this.
I've updated boxBar to 0.1.5

If you are on Win 95/98/ME and use boxBar, please download the ansi version from the boxBar page

tHANX!
gonna check it out and am going to report later on.

It appears to have fixed the issue. And it was pretty much every time I ran uttorent for an extended period. Thanks Carsomyr.

cant seem to download it, are there other links to download boxcore?

The servers seem to fine, I just tested a download. Make sure you click the link and then select a mirror. Don't try and download the links directly.

I'm having trouble with boxCore. I went from my dual-screen setup, (1 external, 1 laptop monitor) to just my laptop screen, this mis-aligned the menubar thing (not sure what to call it XD) on the left. It went from going from top to bottom to only partially to the top (1/2 way) and I can't see my status bar items and my clock. Any way to realign it correctly?

I am having trouble with 0.2.1 on 64 bit vista

Cannot load bbslit get incompatibility error. Is this a known issue.

That's probably due to the different size/resolution of the monitor. The bar you can probably drag into place, to see the other items you'll have to edit their configuration file's x and y coordinates (1,1 may not be ad) so that you'll see them, then you can drag them into place, or maybe you'll have to manually adjust the coordinates.
