Force re-load or re-display of notification tray icons

**post is kind of long but the main question is at the very end if you want to skip down**

I have Windows Vista Home Premium.

Resolution is set to 1280x1024 and color is set to 32 bit. Not sure if that matters or not, but here is the problem/annoyance...

Whenever I play a particular game, an older game, Starcraft, the display/color settings are changed for it. Because of this, I think, the icons in the notification tray are changed/look different. Whenever I exit the game, and the settings are changed back, the notification tray icons(or some of them) display the same as they did when the settings were changed for the game, they look pixelated and have fewer colors.

Some of them reload/redisplay/change back, and some of them don't. Changing the taskbar property to auto-hide and allowing it to "dip down and come back up" will make some of them display correctly, and moving my cursor over some of them also seems to have made them "reload", but one has remained pixelated and with fewer colors and hasn't changed back.

Aside from restarting the computer, is there a way to get the notification tray icons to "reload" after the display settings are changed back when the game is closed?
