3rd Party Tray Popup Solution For Emerge Desktop

Description

I Run Emerge Desktop As An App Over The Explorer Shell...
I use this 3rd Party Tray Popup.... In My emergeLauncher.exe Launch List
So When I Press The Triangle Button ... It brings up the System Tray... ( See Preview )

This way my Google Chrome Browser Brings Up Web Pages Properly
By That I Mean Google Chrome Works Right.... And I Can Run HTML5 Video As Well


I run Emerge Desktop As An App On Startup.... this way... ( See Below )

---------------------Run Emerge On Startup.reg-------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun]
"Emerge Desktop"="C://Program Files//Emerge Desktop//emergeCore.exe"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are several versions of Emerge Desktop... 6.13 may work better with Google Chrome...
6.2 may have other improvements but may not work well with Google Chrome...

For Me When I Use 6.13 Sometimes Some Elements Of The Emerge Desktop Would Not Show
Either The Emergecore Icon ( Which I Usually Customize With Win8 Metro Style Icon ) Would Not Show...
or The System Tray Would Not Show...

I use v6.2 Of Emerge Desktop and I use Explorer As My Shell Still...
Emerege Desktop Runs On Top Of That... And I Use This 3rd Party System Tray App

Doing it that way works best for me.

i have been using Emerge for quite some time now and i too run it as a standalone app on startup like this, the benfits is as you say, such as that windows taskbar dissapears and then use the emerge taskbar instead, but i can also still access the windows startmenu and can use a bit fancier startbutton too with the help of Rainmeterlike this:

There i have the taskbar at the top (Emerge) and the startbutton (rainmeter) at the bottom, and the windows startmenu also appears at the bottom as usual, with windows own taskbar if u wanted it up top the startmenu and menu followed.

and i have also been using this tray popup tool that works great, but only when you are using Emerge, is there a way to make it work outside of it ? if i were too use some other shell such as Litestep or SharpE or something similar ? this would be great if it could :)
