"customize notification area" change

when did this happen? i just noticed it works differently in 7229. instead of getting a big list with drop-down menus, you just drag/drop icons in and out of the pop-up window to make them always visible...

no way, on 7100 it's the big list. i'm sure of it.

yeah i had to go into the context-sensitive help there in the new dialog to learn about drag-drop. it's not very intuitive, but once you know the trick, it's a great way to do it

Cool, as in useful for me

You can also re-arrange the order of the icons, hidden or shown, and this arrangement seems to be persistent.

So I'm on 7260 right now and I don't see any difference in how the notification area is?
