Well mIRC does not have the same format as ICQ or WinAmp...and with regards to ICQ (possibly the same for Winamp) - When you try and open a window within ICQ (i.e. the options menu, edit profile etc) a new bar is added to the taskbar. It's only the little control panel type thing to view chat buddies that can be active on the screen and have the icon in the tray.
As I don't like to post *too* much in one thread, I'll just conclude my opinion:
If the option is possible to add then I'm all for it, although I wouldn't personally use it. I also think it conflicts with what I think the tray is for in the first place. Winamp and ICQ look completely different to mIRC and the windows that do now show in the taskbar do not have the same "format" as mIRC does. mIRC is not what I would class as an IM client and, *IMO*, shouldn't behave like one.
Regards,
