    <p>My software <a href="http://www.pomodoroapp.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Pomodoro Timer</a> is going to display a dynamic icon on Windows 7 taskbar. You may wonder why the application icon need to be dynamic. It's actually a counting down timer for me to help me focus on current task, so called <a href="http://www.pomodorotechnique.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the pomodoro technique</a>:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/BwWbR.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>My way to change the icon is to simply change the Window icon. It works fine when I start the application, but after I pinned it to taskbar, it will display the default icon for the application. The dynamic counter down number will disappear. More worse, after I unpinned it from taskbar, the default behavior will never be recovered, that is, the dynamic icon will not able to be updated correctly. When I start the application again, it will display the default icon, unless I pinned it and unpinned it again, the counting down icon displays again.</p> <p>I've searched this forum, and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/969033/change-pinned-taskbar-icon-windows-7">Change pinned taskbar icon (windows 7)</a>, and tried to change the overlay icon. It works, but not fulfill my requirement, the overlay icon can only display 16x16, and no enough room to display 4 digits.</p> <p>I also read the MSDN article <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd378459%28v=vs.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Application User Model IDs</a>, but i am still not clear whether it can make it or not.</p> <p>Anyone can help on this? Thanks a lot! </p>

    1. COI would have thought a ticking clock in the taskbar would be a distraction. Are you really likely to get much done in those last few minutes, being all-too-aware that your time is about to run out?

    2. COPerhaps you can use a progress bar instead of an icon to show how much time is left? Might be easier to code, and less intrusive.

    3. CO@Lightness Races in Orbit, right, I'm used to do this. Actually another popular tool called focusbooster, displays a counting down timer on top of others as a floating window. This counting down timer is actually how the Pomodoro Technique works. Yes, if user does not like it, they can choose not to show a dynamic counting down timer.
