I experience this too. I thought it might be something else in Windows but I guess it is only CodeBlocks doing it. I see this with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

Miguel Gimenez:
The flickering has been always there (every time a plugin loads a C::B icon appears and then disappears).

Now it is more visible because the old splash screen created a fixed icon that covered the plugin icons almost completely, but the new splash screen (using wxSplashCreen from wxWidgets) does not create such task bar icon.

oBFusCATed:
Can someone try to find why this problem happens?

Plugins or wxAUI windows? I was thinking this comes from top level windows created...
I do not think that there is an easy fix...

Will check.

The problem with wxSplashScreen is that it uses wxFRAME_TOOL_WINDOW and wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR; both imply that no taskbar icon will be shown.

There are three possible solutions:
  1.- restore previous behaviour of the splash screen (icon in taskbar with flashing icons behind it)
  2.- no icon with splash screen and try to remove flashing icons for plugins/AUI windows
  3.- Icon with splash screen, try to remove flashing icons.

Option 1 is easy. Option 2 means no icon will be shown until the main window is opened, and may be less easy. 3 may be easy or not.

Which is the preferred way?
