Hello, I have Windows 7 and the current version of Skype installed. I noticed that my friend had the online status indicator right on the Skype icon in the taskbar all the time, and I have been trying to figure out how to set mine up that way. Currently when Skype is open or pinned to the taskbar, I have to have a separate icon in the notification tray to be able to see my status at all times from the taskbar.
I have tried turning off notification for Skype, along with combinations of having it pinned or unpinned, and the various settings of the taskbar icons themselves, and I can't get this to appear this way when I'm logged in.
The strange thing is that when I sign out of Skype, the status *does* appear on the taskbar icon, showing appropriately that I am offline. (I tried to attach a small screenshot but keep getting pink messages that an unexpected error occurred). However, it goes away when I log in and the contact list view comes up, and I have only the logo without status indicator.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing to be able to have the status indicator on the taskbar icon all the time while logged in? Thanks very much.
