Decombine on mouse hover only working on primary monitor when taskbar set to auto-hide

jmiller4848 1 year ago updated by YXD 1 year ago 0

I have multiple monitors and run the taskbars vertical.  

Taskbar settings: unlocked, Auto-Hide, small buttons, peek disabled, combine always - hide labels

Taskbar Multi-Displays settings: taskbar on all displays, buttons on all taskbars, Combine always - hide labels.  

TT is set to group by App, Combine grouped buttons, and Decombine on mouse hover.


For some reason, my primary monitor is the only taskbar which properly decombines on hover.  For my other monitors when I hover a multi-doc app button, the button does not expand (see screenshots).

It does not matter if my taskbar is vertical or horizontal.  I did notice that if I turn off the taskbar auto-hide, then all monitors work perfectly to decombine.

Non-primary monitor. Auto-hide on.  When cursor moves over "Chrome", the same vertical space is used to show the two open windows.  So, it is kinda decombining but only into a small vertical space.  A horizontal taskbar behave similar in that it divides the normal button space.

Non-primary monitor. Auto-hide on.  When cursor moves over "Word", "Word" disappears and the same vertical space is sliced into horizontal lines with each representing an open doc.  This example shows this issue in a more extreme case with many docs open.

Now, I turn auto-hide off and mouse over "Word".  This works correct on all monitors.

Any ideas on how to make decombine fully expand with taskbar auto-hide turned on?   Thanks for the help.  This is a fantastic program.

Bug: "Combine grouped buttons" doesn't work with vertical taskbar on Windows 10 21H2+ [v5.15.1]

Anonymous 2 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 2 years ago 3

Video example: https://files.catbox.moe/8avg7r.mp4


The same configuration works fine on both my Win7 host PC and an 8.1 VM, so I'm fairly certain this is specific to the Win10 taskbar. Also, while I didn't update this specific VM, the same issue occurs on whatever the latest build of 21H2 is.

Answer

It's a known limitation (which I forgot about and had to spend some time to investigate and remember).

It never worked in Windows 10, and I addressed it here:

https://ramensoftware.com/7-taskbar-tweaker/comment-page-47#comment-11969

tl;dr:

  • In Windows 10, due to the way the combining functionality is implemented, it only works on a horizontal taskbar.
  • Workaround: Set the taskbar to “Always combine, hide labels” in system taskbar properties. Then set the “show_labels” advanced option of the tweaker to “2”. Finally, select “Don’t combine grouped buttons” if that’s the default configuration you prefer.

Not a bug

doesnt preserve pinned icons order

Nik Frolov 2 years ago updated 2 years ago 7

Hi Mike!

Thanks for the great utility! I hope you'll resolve my concern.

When I exit from 7+TT and run an application pinned to the task bar - its icon stays at the same position:

But, if 7+TT is running - the icon jumps to the right:

Here are my 7+TT settings:

Thanks in advance!

Option to place the taskbar item adjacent to the parent?

Anonymous 2 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 2 years ago 1

Can't find it, but is there an option to place the taskbar item adjacent to the parent? Something like "When not grouping, place new items next to the existing ones" but on the right side of caller program.

Программа 7+ Taskbar Tweaker в автозагрузке.

350o2022 2 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 2 years ago 1

При загрузке системы программа 7+ Taskbar Tweaker находясь в автозагрузке запускает окно своих настроек, а хотелось бы чтобы только в трее.

Answer

Вы можете использовать параметр командной строки «-hidewnd». Вообще, он добавляется автоматически при установке. Возможно, вы настроили автозагрузку вручную или используете портабельную версию.

Two identical machines, one can cycle through any open app. The other gets stuck.

Anonymous 2 years ago updated 2 years ago 5

I have a strange, and frustrating problem for this amazing software.

Two identical machines (2023 razer 14 laptops). Identical windows versions, updates, drivers, etc. I can cycle through all the open windows with "cycle between taskbar buttons" on machine A, but it will not operate the same on machine B. For machine B, it cycles through any open window just fine, but stops when it gets to the video game Everquest. After it hard stops at the first instance of Everquest, it can not cycle past it. Machine A, meanwhile, has no problem cycling through any open window, including many instances of Everquest.

It wouldn't be such a huge deal if this wasn't my job. I have spent the past two days banging my head, trying to match up every setting in the book (7tt, windows, and Everquest) to no avail. I have reinstalled 7tt many times. I have tried beta version. Thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time

Hi, is there any way to add an option that let's us remove the Scrollbar that appears when I have more than 1 row of icons in taskbar? I would also like option to prevent scrolling into completely blank rows. Why does Windows let me scroll into nothingness?
