In the media template that is applied to the Task Tray agent configuration, you can use HTML code to set the colors for the task tray. For example:
<A HREF="file://C:/Program Files/ICONICS/GENESIS32/Bin/Gwx32.exe multi.gdf -runtime'">Graphworx file.</A>
<body bgcolor="#FFFF00"></body>
The string <body bgcolor="#xxxxxx"></body> uses the hexadecimal value to set the color.
The string <A HREF="file://C:/Program Files/ICONICS/GENESIS32/Bin/Gwx32.exe multi.gdf -runtime'">Graphworx file.</A> creates a URL-type link to launch a GraphWorX application. Thus, the complete syntax for the link is as follows:
<A HREF="file://C:/Program Files/ICONICS/GENESIS32/Bin/Gwx32.exe C:\Program Files\ICONICS\GENESIS32\Examples\test\remove.gdf">Click to launch the preconfigured GraphWorX display</A>
