Add the ability to pin icons to additional taskbars on other monitors
Add clocks to additional taskbars (Win 8.0+)
This would be especially useful when you are using full screen applications on your main display and need to see the date/time.
Program-specific Thumbnail/List Hovering-option
However, it's logical that a user want specifically some programs displayed as List, and other as Thumbnails.
This will vary depending on user's work-style, but I think my preference may be rather typical;
For programs where I have a lot of windows, and/or are normally purposefully named I want a List-style;
- Explorer
- Word
Programs I have few windows, and are more easily identified by thumbnails;
- Images
- Browsers
- Excel
- Most other programs.
Hence it would be of great benefit to have program-specific Thumbnail/List option. Otherwise it will always be a compromise, and for me a constant hinder for fast optimal workflow.
Option to reduce the empty space to the sides of the clock (and possibly the Start button as well)
Custom context menu with user-defined items
I think it would be nice to have a 7+ Taskbar Tweaker-defined context menu with configurable items. These items would include not only those in the existing menus, but also user-defined items. Each item would have 4 attributes: a title, execution path, working directory, and arguments.
Very similar to how Visual Studio does with its "External Tools".
I *love* this app by the way. I'm a developer, and sometimes annoying UI shortcomings get in between my ideas and my code. This app fixes many of those. Keep it up!
Could the taskbar Inspector List have options to show or hide the taskbar icons? I would l like to hide some progarm icons as the programs run in the background and they just take up valuable space on the taskbar.
You can't do that.
What you can do is group these icons together so they take less space: select them in taskbar inspector, right click and choose Change Application ID -> random_group_x.
Option to show labels on all but first in a group
With programs like Outlook, I couldn't care less about the label on the main window (it says 'Inbox - Microsoft Outlook'.. I'd like that to have it's label hidden. But I do want to show the labels for other windows in the group.. those have email subjects, or meeting titles in them.
It'd be nice if we could have a new option in the Taskbar Inspector, that said
'Show Labels: ' -> Always, Never, All but first
System tray sometimes dissappears when News and Interests is disabled and 7+ is active (Windows 10)
Since the last cumulative update (KB5003637) to Windows 10 (21H1) which enabled the News and Interest feature in the taskbar the system tray is inconsistent after disabling that feature - either it doesn't show or only half of it shows. When closing 7+ the problem goes away (and doesn't return after opening the program again), but then it also goes away sometimes when toggling between enabling and disabling that feature.
Taskbar tweaker crashes explorer.exe
Installed Taskbar Tweaker latest release (5.11.1) over a previous release.
Sooner or later after a fresh boot, explorer.exe starts crashing repeatedly (once every 3-4 seconds).
Windows 10 events log shows:
Application generating the error: explorer.exe, version: 10.0.19041.1023, timestamp: 0xc438eef0
Module generating the error: inject.dll, version: 5.11.1.0, timestamp: 0x60aed238
Exception Code: 0xc0000005
Error Offset 0x000000000000eb40
Path to the error generating application: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe
Path to the error generating module: C:\Users\Marco\AppData\Roaming\7+ Taskbar Tweaker\inject.dll
Uninstalling Taskbar Tweaker solves immediately the error.
Thanks for having a look at this issue!
[Feature idea] Sort tasks in Taskbar by a user defined order instead of the order in which the programs were started
Current situation
When no applications are pinned to the taskbar and applications are started/launched by the user, they appear in the Taskbar and are sorted in the Taskbar by the order in which they were started.
Example
Let's assume a user has three applications named "B", "F" and "Z" installed on his computer and non of these apps are pinned to the Taskbar. Then the user launches the three applications in this order "Z", "F" and "B". The result is that the programs appear in the Taskbar in such a way that "Z" is the leftmost/first item in the Taskbar, "F" is in the middle and "B" is the last/rightmost item.
A fixed order that determines where and in which particular order the applications appear in the taskbar can only be achieved by pinning the applications to the Taskbar. (But pinning items to the Taskbar can waste a lot of space.)
Problem with this situation
Users launch their applications in different orders: Sometimes they launch "Z" first, sometimes they launch "F" first and so on. This brings the confusing result that in the Taskbar the applications always appear in different places / orders. So when switching between applications, user's first have to search with their eye where the running application is now located.
Feature idea and benefits
Please include a functionality in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker that allows users to assign custom order for applications in the Taskbar. This could be a list in which users could add applications ("B.exe", "F.exe", and "Z.exe" for example) and assign a number to each application like "F.exe" = 1, "Z.exe" = 2 and "B.exe" = 3.
Result
The result would be that the applications would always appear in the order "F" in the first place/leftmost, "Z" in the middle and "B" in the rightmost place in the Taskbar, no matter in which the user has launched them. All the other applications that are not included in this list always get sorted behind the rightmost item from the list (just like Taskbar does it now by sorting all non-pinned applications right of the pinned ones.)
Benefits
Makes finding and switching between applications in the Taskbar faster because users know (or can anticipate) where they sit. And users can use muscle memory to move the mouse cursor to the desired items (like to the Startbutton that always sits in the left bottom corner.)
If anyone in the world could pull that off, then this would probably be you, RaMMicHaeL!
