[QUOTE="ADKhikerVW, post: 723630, member: 36483"] It's Mac, not MAC.:) There really isn't an exact equivalent. The closest thing would be the section of the menu bar at the top right of the screen, which shows time and the status of programs or devices you choose to place there. The Dock is more like a platform for launching and switching programs. A Java app which relies on the System Tray is unlikely to work in OS X, since the entire process on which it depends is nonexistent. Even though there are parts of the OS which in a sense provide the same functionality, the app will not know to use them to perform the equivalent actions. What is the app by the way? [/QUOTE]
