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.

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?
