make tray ico light up when internet data transfers like XP?

I don't know if it's my setup of if windows 7 is just not capable of this. But one thing i really miss is how the internet tray icon in previous windows versions would light up when data was being up or downloaded. Is the icon in 7 not capable of this or is there a setting where i can turn it on?

I found a standalone executable that does it ! Simple small and free... Network Activity Indicator for Windows 7 - IT Samples
