--I would like the systray icons a little larger. I thought the size was tied to the Caption Buttons, but I think Classic Shell has broken that connection.

--I'm using Win 7 Classic Theme. When I perform a system action, the screen flashes then grays out for a moment. I can't find it in a search of the web. These are definitely tied to performing a system action, not random or indicating a graphics card problem. I've never had it on previous installations.

Hi RoWin7,

--I would like the systray icons a little larger. I thought the size was tied to the Caption Buttons, but I think Classic Shell has broken that connection.

--I'm using Win 7 Classic Theme. When I perform a system action, the screen flashes then grays out for a moment. I can't find it in a search of the web. These are definitely tied to performing a system action, not random or indicating a graphics card problem. I've never had it on previous installations.

Does this help => Any way to increase the size of Notification/System tray icons please?.

It also makes all the tabs and text in the taskbar huge, but I guess it's a tradeoff. Saw Brink's link, and the Caption Buttons don't affect the systray on that machine. But on this computer, both Systray and Taskbar icons are reasonably sized.

How about the flash of lightning every time I perform a Win function? Although it's not as bad as the dancing screens in Aero.:p
