Taskbar arrangement suggestion

Anónimo hace 4 años actualizado hace 4 años 2

First off I want to say I've been a happy 7+tt user for many years and it's the most useful, stable utility ever, while also having a tiny footprint and no negative impact on the OS. It's weird because I always just install and forget about it, only occasionally when I use someone else's computer do I realise how bad the standard windows experience is!

So thank you so much for the effort and dedication you put into maintaining it.

So I have this suggestion that may be possible to add as a 7+tt feature?

Basically I always use large taskbar buttons which are grouped, but I don't like to combine them. So closed programs have a small icon, but open ones have a wide button with text on. This means that as I open and close pinned items, the rest of the icons slide left and right along the taskbar. This makes it difficult to find some aplications quickly.

My suggestion is to allow pinning some icons to the right hand side of the taskbar, near the tray. That way I can move icons for some programs (like whatsapp and Your Phone) up to that end and force them to only use a small button, and they wouldn't slide up and down the taskbar as I open other programs. The ones on the left would still behave as they do now, but the ones on the right would always be in the same place and quick to locate.

Just a thought, maybe it sounds silly but for the way I work, it would definitely make like much easier.

Thank you for reading!

As an alternative possible solution with the current settings, you can choose to hide labels (via Taskbar Inspector) for those apps that you'd move to the right. That way, they won't move all of the taskbar items to the right.

Hi, thanks for your reply.


I could do that as long as I make sure they are all the way to the left before any other applications, otherwise any other buttons that expand will move them along.


I have been checking utilities that force apps into the tray so I might just do that instead.

Thanks.
