My clock used to disappear occasionally. Now, it is the entire System Tray which disappears. This has occurred among other instances when I close out a game. Anyone else seeing this?

As you know by now, I'm currently working on NextSTART's new UI (which means I'm focusing on NextSTART, hehe). I'll have a look at the kind of glitches you describe as soon as the UI is finished.

Could be because the systray gets repositioned when the Game changes screen resolution. Or it could be a z-order problem (do you have your NextSTART taskbar set to Always on Top?).

It is set to always on top. I'm pretty sure it has happened other than when exiting a game. I will pay more attention next time it occurs!

BTW, I never understood what Z-order was all about?

Looking forward to new GUI. No distractions like disappearing trays & clocks!!! (he, he).

I believe I can guess what he means with the z-order.
You got the axis system, the X axis (left to right) Y axis (bottom to top) and the Z axis (which is basically depth, and isn't a real axis on your screen, but an imaginary one). So I guess the Z-order means which window is on top of which window.

kutagh:

Sounds reasonable. We will see!
