If you read the comments for the task bar class, it says “don’t attempt to put it on the desktop”!

I assume you’ve checked that your very-dodgy-looking image loading code is actually loading an image, and not returning a null pointer?

Works fine for me. I’ll add this to the juce demo for the next release:

[code]class DemoTaskbarComponent : public TaskbarIconComponent  
{  
public:  
DemoTaskbarComponent()  
{  
Image icon (Image::RGB, 32, 32, true);  
Graphics g (icon);

```
    g.fillAll (Colours::lightblue);

    g.setColour (Colours::black);
    g.setFont (32.0f, Font::bold);
    g.drawText (T("j"), 0, 0, icon.getWidth(), icon.getHeight(), Justification::centred, false);

    setIconImage (icon);
    setIconTooltip (T("Juce Demo App!"));
}

~DemoTaskbarComponent()
{
}

void mouseDown (const MouseEvent& e)
{
    PopupMenu m;
    m.addItem (1, T("Quit the Juce demo"));

    const int result = m.show();

    if (result == 1)
        JUCEApplication::getInstance()->systemRequestedQuit();
}

```

};[/code]

Sorry, can’t understand what you’re trying to say. I added that code to the juce demo, so it’ll use a tray icon in the next release.
