How to stop system tray Icons from grouping together
#1
I have a couple different projects that I am using pystray for, and these icons are grouping together when moving them in the system tray.

I've found that this is the case for anything using the WinAPI, Whether it be pywin32 or something coded by hand using ctypes to implement the API like pystray. I've discovered this by writing my own system tray icon using PyWin32 that does the same thing as pystray. I've also tried running it as a multiprocessing.Process and it is still grouped together with system tray icons from other projects.

Any way to stop this from happening?
