'''Uniform Server 3.5-Apollo.'''
|}
This unofficial UniTray plugin is based on the one originally designed for UniServer 3.2. I was recently hauled over the coals by a friends son for not including the 3.5 version on his memory stick.

OK there is not yet an official version (currently being worked on and will be released soon), what I was using was my hacked version while demonstrating new features of Uniform Server 3.5, had no idea he thought the tray icon was cool. Seems his friends also liked it hence I have been persuaded to publish it as is.

== Confusion ==
To avoid any confusion at a later date I have named this version '''ucUniTray'''. Nothing special about uc just stands for UniCenter.

== Background ==
UniTray uses as it core component [http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Ebroekroo/aetraymenu/ AeTrayMenu] designed by '''Onno Broekmans''' who released it into the public domain under the following licence creative commons. This program has stood the test of time and well worth downloading to obtain the excellent documentation.

'''''I copied this from his site'':'''

AeTrayMenu puts a tray icon in your system tray. When you click on it with your left or right mouse button, a popup menu will appear. The menus that appear are fully configurable.

'''Features'''

An overview of the most important features of AeTrayMenu:

* Fully configurable;
* Separate menus for left and right click;
* Run programs and launch documents;

:* Easy access to "Services" control panel applet

If you want to hack it around for your own use his [http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Ebroekroo/aetraymenu/docs/aetraymenu.chm support documentation] is excellent and very readable; download it and enjoy.

== Where to obtain ucUniTray ==
Download my hacked version; file [http://wiki.uniformserver.com/exeload/ucunitray/ucUniTray.exe ucUniTray.exe] and save it to any folder of your choice.

'''''MD5 =''''' '''cfeb8f352c2bae3576b3e28f26173952'''

The file is a self-extracting archive; double click to run, no need to change the path.

== Installation ==
Depending on your preference there are two methods to install ucUniTray:

'''''Method 1'':'''

# Save the file ucUniTray.exe to any folder.
# Double click on the file and let it extract to that folder.
# Copy the folder ucUniTray to '''*\Uniform Server\udrive\plugins''' folder.
# Copy the files in the folder "'''Main Folder'''" to folder '''*\Uniform Server''' (where Server_Start.bat is located).
# Start the Tray Icon by double clicking on Start_ucUniTray.bat a small icon appears in the tray bottom right.
# Left mouse click on this icon, from the pop-up menus you control the servers.
# To remove the tray icon first stop the servers and then click on “Exit”
# The icon may remain however mouse over the icon and it will disappear.

'''''Method 2'':'''

# Save the file '''ucUniTray.exe''' to folder '''*\Uniform Server\udrive\plugins''' 
# Double click on the file and let it extract to that folder.
# If you wish you can delete the file ucUniTray.exe to say space.
# Copy the files in the folder "'''Main Folder'''" to the folder '''*\Uniform Server''' (where Server_Start.bat is located).
# Start the Tray Icon by double clicking on Start_ucUniTray.bat a small icon appears in the tray bottom right.
# Left mouse click on this icon, from the pop-up menus you control the servers.
# To remove the tray icon first stop the servers and then click on “Exit”
# The icon may remain however mouse over the icon and it will disappear.

'''''Note'':''' Folder '''*\Uniform Server''' now contains the following files and folder:

*  Disk Start.vbs
*  Server_Start.bat
*  '''Start_ucUniTray.bat'''
*  Stop.bat
*  '''Stop_ucUniTray.bat'''
*  ucUniTray.exe
*  udrive

That completes the plugin installation.

== Testing ==
'''''Start_ucUniTray'':'''

Double click on "'''Start_ucUniTray.bat'''" a small UniServer icon will appear in your system tray (bottom right).
A left mouse click on this icon brings up the main menu.

There is one important selection Exit this closes and removes the menu icon, remember to stop the servers first.

The right menu gives access and control of UniServer. You can also access some of the advanced features

'''''Stop_ucUniTray'':'''

Double click on "'''Stop_ucUniTray.bat'''" this closes the menu and removes it from your system tray.
