Dragging within groups seems not to work (with particular settings)
Hello! As I reported initially on the end of an old thread, I do not seem to have any Mouse Button Options set and yet I
cannot drag between groups/ I have v. 5.10 of the Tweaker on Windows 10 2009. Screenshot of my settings is here and (the mouse settings) here.
I would appreciate any help. By the way, I find your tool very valuable.
Display a close icon (x) when hovering over buttons or on the active button.
I use my taskbar like a web browser's tabs bar, but for apps/windows instead of websites (top position, small buttons, showing badges). So in the Tweaker I find it necessary to disable thumbnails or lists while hovering, or else it often pops up accidentally when I'm selecting browser tabs and gets in the way. This leaves me with right clicking and selecting 'close' as the fastest option to close a window. However, I think the taskbar could be revolutionized as a "windows tabs bar" if only we had a convenient way to close tabs/windows like in browsers. Is this possible? It seems like it could be easy to crop and reposition the "X" button from the thumbnails to the right side of the tab when hovering over.
Resize taskbar and control its number of rows by keyboard shortcuts (+1/-1 row)
Instead of this process:

Please add Keyboard Shortcuts in Advanced options:
+1 row - adds one row to the rows of the taskbar.
-1 row - reduces one row from the taskbar rows.
Collapse/Expand Pinned Icons
Similar to the notification area / system tray in XP, and requested for that in this topic, I'd like the same functionality for pinned items, with a little twist: when collapsed, it should show just the programs that are open/running. And ideally it would allow for pins to be set to always show, so I could have most hide when not in use but have some show regardless. Combined with making them smaller, as discussed in this topic, that would free up a lot of taskbar space.
Taskbar Tweaker Could not Load Library
I downloaded the tool yet when I load it, it says that I have an insider build of Windows 10 (even though I don't even know how to check it or if I even have it at all) and when I loaded the tool, it says that it could not load library, error code 1004.
Mouse wheel minimize/restore all group items
It seems like the current option "Minimize/restore when mouse is over" - "Taskbar buttons" does nothing when windows are grouped. Can you make is so that this will minimize/restores all group items.
I am not sure if this makes a difference, but the window group is originating from a pinned button.
My current workarounds are:
a. Right clicking the group and hitting: "Restore all windows"/"Minimize all windows"
b. taskbaritem|x1click 12, taskbaritem|x2click
But using the mouse wheel would be nice, since that is the behavior for non grouped buttons.
Beta Blocked by AVG/Avast
7tt_setup_beta.exe and the URL to the download are both blocked by Avast. I reported it as a false positive. Not sure if you would have better luck being the Dev or not.
The Stable version doesn't seem to be blocked.
Anyway. Just reaching out in case that bothers you. I'm sure its fine. Virustotal has about 8 generic reports. You probably can't justify dealing with the AV people for every beta build. (I wouldn't if I where you haha).
Thank you for your hard work. Appreciate you sharing your talent with us.
You're right about pretty much everything you said. Here's one of the most recent discussions about false positive detections, and there were many of those.
Thanks for reporting it to Avast. There's no special Dev status I'm aware of - when I submit a false positive, I do that using the commonly available form, and the false detection is usually removed after a couple of days.
Taskbar is not fully occupying the screen. The Show Desktop button is not at the very bottom of the screen when I have taskbar on the left/right.
![]()
You can see the empty space after the "show desktop" button when I have my taskbar to the left
Add option to make "Double click on empty space" or "middle click on empty space" for crtl-alt-tab or win-tab act as a toggle
When using "Double click on empty space" or "middle click on empty space" for crtl-alt-tab or win-tab, if that "view" is already open, close it, so it's easier to escape from accidental activation.
Incompatibility with Dexpot, a virtual desktop manager
Good day.
It's hard for me to describe in words the bug I found. I will try to describe in steps:
0) windows 10 20h2
1) in the 7+ Taskbar Tweaker program enable Hide start button option
2) in Dexpot program (https://dexpot.de/?lang=en - virtual desktop manager) enable plugin "Taskbar pager"
and the pager that appears on the taskbar will behave very strangely. to fix the situation, it is enough to remove the setting "Hide start button" in 7+ TT settings. Interestingly, installing a different start button hider (http://www.startkiller.com/ - StartKiller, for example) does not lead to this behavior.
Hope this bug gets fixed. Thank you.
