Is it possible to change the icon for a NotifyIcon? My notifyIcon starts and stops a service, and I'd like to have a slightly different icon for "running" and "stopped".

The Apache webserver's system tray icon has a green dot for running and a red dot for stopped - very nice - you can tell at a glance what state it's in. 

my $ni = $main->AddNotifyIcon(
  -name => "NI",
  -icon => $niIcon,
  -tip  => "The Electronic Brewery",
);

The line below attempts to change the icon. It returns success (1), but doesn't actually do anything. 

$didItWork = Win32::GUI::Change($ni->{-handle}, (  -icon  => $tebIcon,
+));

Thanks - Dave
