It's not in the settings. Can you PM me as to where I can get the 2.0 beta? I LOVE beta testing things!

You can download the zip from their github repo : https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum . You will have to build it or for first run, after you install Python and essential components, you can run electrum file from the folder - python electrum  Good Luck! Grin

Well the whole point is that I'm NOT seeing it! It's not on the menu when I right-click. I'm using the Windows installer version at the moment. I've tried all the different versions though with the same results.

Replied in to your PM!

Per your PM I did everything you suggested.

1. I completely removed Electrum 1.9.8 including running a registry cleaner to clean up any remnants left in the registry
2. Rebooted PC
3. Installed Electrum from a fresh download.

The problem still persists. The is NO light/dark option on the taskbar when right-clicked. Just Hide/Show and Exit.

I also have Electrum-LTC installed and it DOES have the option when right-clicked in the taskbar.

Anyway this issue will in no way prevent me from using Electrum. I love it!!


I use Electrum 2.0 Beta. Maybe it was newly implemented in it? Or it maybe in Electrum settings.

BTChip does not support signing messages either. :-/ sorry

BTChip allows to sign message - there is a C API, so I am sure there is Python API. Smiley And also, I imported private keys. So it should be imported to Electrum and thus shouldn't be using BTChip for signing, right? Huh

Please help me! BTChip is working with electrum now and I imported 2 private keys. After that, I tried to sign messages but I am getting errors. Any solution?

I don't show that option on the Electrum BTC wallet. I'm running 1.9.8. All I see is Show/Hide and Exit. Electrum LTC does exactly as you describe though. I see the Light/Dark option when I right-click the icon. Any ideas? Should I re-download/re-install? Please advise.

Click Light/Dark if you are seeing it. Smiley And, which one are you using? Electrum Portable or Standalone Executable or Windows Installer?

A dark blue circle with a light blue design of a BTC at the center of what looks like 3 electron orbits.

wow!!! that's not what I see at all! Hmm... I wonder what the deal is?

You can change the colour by right clicking the icon and select Dark/Grey ... option. Smiley

UPDATE: I see it if I look closely. It's white on a light grey background. Very hard to see but it's there. What color is yours?

I have an icon when I minimize.  Windows 8.1 and also when I used XP.

That's great! I'm happy for you! But it's not helping me any. Does anyone have any idea why I don't get an icon when I minimize?

I'm a new user of Electrum and I love it! My only issue so far is when I minimize Electrum to the taskbar there is no icon. There is just a blank spot where the icon is supposed to be. Electrum-LTC does not exhibit this behavior and DOES show an icon. I know it's just cosmetic but it's kinda weird. Running Windows 7 Home Edition.

BTChip hardware wallet does not support decrypting messages. So do not tell people to encrypt any messages using your BTChip pubkeys.

Thanks for replying! Could you help me in this too?

I have seen that Electrum dropped the BIP39 compatibility (seed mnemonic).
Any reason why?

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commit/f8fbce12431cde3fb40ce01908ce9b8d96a6c913


They were never BIP39 compliant to begin with. The first commit with BIP39(ish) implemented generated 13 words instead of 12, and when accepting phrases, it would treat 12 word phrases as legacy Electrum phrases and 13 word phrases as BIP39... so it basically could not work with existing BIP39 phrases.

The commit you mention is just because he decided to do away with any semblance of BIP39 generation and changed the way it works completely. Only thing common is the wordlists now.

Reason why? idk

Doesn't bother me much.
