    Regarding systray icon:

    1. It launches at startup: OK
    2. When I click twice on it, ValltGuard gui forms but systray icon disappears: NOT OK
    3. Executing vg.exe again doesn't bring back the systray icon.
    4. Add a function to close to systray when closing from the main gui.

    i had a question regarding this app, since the data is still present unencrypted on the disk, so it must be accessible by accessing the drive externally surely? so it is not real protection at all?

    This app is not about disk encryptioin.
    Yes it is.
    Nope, it is real protection, another kind of protection, just not data encryption.

    I fixed the code and wrote a new tester that uses "net share" for sharing; I'll make the switch tomorrow after successful testing.

    I just hope it is not that hard to write it. Thanks.

    It's been on GitHub and the website for two days, just as I promised. Today I also implemented zoom scaling, but I'll add that later so it scales correctly at any resolution. I'll increment the version number then.

    Thanks for the update, but it hasn't changed a bit. In the Details tab it says version 1.0.0.2 but it didn't change a bit, all three bugs I mentioned above are still present. Perhaps you mixed up the executables.
    Bug 1
    Bug 2 and 3
