Displays a button on the task tray, by shrinking the window list and positioning itself between that and the notification area.
This looks and smells like a notification icon, but it's always visible.
The taskbar is a window, having child windows like this:
[start][search][windows ][icons|clock]
The tray button is just another child window, inserted between the window list and icons:
[start][search][windows ][button][icons|clock]
The primary audience for Morphic is people who have difficulties using a computer. Accessing the software needs to be easy to perform and not change.
A standard notification icon will hide itself in a non-discoverable place, and the method of preventing this (programatically) has been purposefully stopped..
This was extracted from the original Morphic application, gpii-app/trayButton.
