It has kind of bugged me that the WAMP status tray icons are all pretty similar to each other. It gets annoying especially because the ‘some services running’ and the ‘all services running’ are yellow and white, respectively. When you are trying to make and test changes to one of the services those colors look really similar.

So, I changed which icons it shows and used the better, alternative ones. They are already there in the icon bar in c:\wamp\images_on.bmp and c:\wamp\images_off.bmp. We just have to change the mapping.

In c:\wamp\wampmanager.tpl change lines 10 – 12 from

TrayIconAllRunning=16
TrayIconSomeRunning=17
TrayIconNoneRunning=18

to

TrayIconAllRunning=9
TrayIconSomeRunning=10
TrayIconNoneRunning=11

The downsides: there is no difference between the icons for offline and online modes, the new icons seem meant to be used elsewhere (but I never see them, or at least not nearly as much as I see the tray icons).
