Gadget activation delay

[jjwhalen]

If you could stand to add "yet another timer" to BT:

I like to use the gadget for its intended purpose, but I'd prefer it didn't activate instantly by casually running the cursor over the n systray icons   A variable cursor "hover delay" over the BT icon would be helpful.  I would probably set it to ~2 seconds, or slightly longer than the tooltip activation time.  Prioritize this however you see fit

Even just setting it to any fixed but non-zero value (e.g. the usual tooltip activation time (around 1/2 second?) or a bit more) would be helpful.
And my vote goes to jjwhalen and his wish, to raise its priority

Seems to be a bug. I bump it up the list.

- BUG: Gadget, the hover delay no longer works.

IIRC the delay has been zero since the gadget was introduced. (But my memory does not serve that well to be sure...)

I have to agree with Pepo on this one.

Now I know why I didn't implement it yet.

After a day of fruitless tryouts and a lot of solutions that where not working or too scary, because Microsoft forgot an implementation of an icon delay.

But finally I got a good idea after reading all the bad ideas on the Internet. 
The seemingly complicated problems, are sometimes still simple, implemented in V 0.63.

Excellent!  Not quite up there with the tooltips, but a most welcome fix
