In this case, because the result's performance sucks? Anyway, the code to stick the little bunny in the system tray on Windows is a system-specific case. And it's probably messier to do system specific crap like that from Java than using native code. By the way, making the icon a leaping rabbit doesn't actually make the darn thing run any faster, you know. :P _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
