Hi, just sent all the afternoon on that... We can do anything : system tray icons are rendered with 16 colors using the system palette. This palette contains dark red, green, blue, cyan, yellow, magenta, light same, black, white, dark grey, light grey... I can say you that's really hard to do a beautiful image with that :p I tried several tings to reduce colors of actual icons and that's ugly... So I think we should leave our icons like they are... Anyway, if users still complain, my mum found an interesting site. I looked at what they do and seems good (although I didn't test) : http://www.dr-hoiby.com/TrayIconIn256Color/index.php They simply propose patches for every Windows versions impacted by the bug...
