Minimize with Right Mouse Button bug with v5.8

GaXve 4 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 4 years ago 1

Minimizing with Right Click doesn't always seem to work, and I'm not sure what circumstances causes it not to work (taskbaritem|rclick  2).

This function worked well in the previous version.

When Right Clicking on the Taskbar Icon, sometimes the window flickers between being active or inactive, but remains on the monitor (it does not minimize). Other times, this function works properly.

I was wondering, is it possible to revert to the previous version?

Thanks!

Answer

The function is quite straightforward, and wasn't changed for years. I suspect that the target application or the OS have to do with the behavior you're seeing.

You can get previous versions of the tweaker here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mcbychsh0xc1dvu/AAC7NwQTQ-tOTNL2BUZ_CwUua?dl=0

You can also compare the behavior with the behavior of other programs, such as the Task Manager.

Let me know if you find out that it worked properly in a previous version of 7+ Taskbar Tweaker (and in this case, which version introduced the issue).

Suggestions of showing labels

Anonymous 4 years ago 0

I set showing labels for the softwares which may have multiple instances like chrome, word, adobe acrobat, and file explorer. 

As the newly opened software is at at the rightmost side of taskbar, the taskbar may like this:

Image 318

I wonder if these softwares can be set always at the right side of taskbar, like this:

Image 317

I believe the latter taskbar is much clear and easy to select the needed program.

Search thru open taskbar programs/icons

Anonymous 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 2

Hi there,

is there any way to search thru the open icons/items in the taskbar? 

I am one of those keeping tons of programs open (at least 4-5 lines in the taskbar, set to auto-hide), so it is sometimes hard to find out if any program is already open. 


My idea would be some option (click at a specific place of the taskbar, e.g. the 7TT icon right.click menu, or have it assigned to a hotkey) and have a search option. The result then is presented in a list which, which, when an item is clicked, directly restores the window of that program.


Thanks for considering :-)


Kind Regards,

Andreas


PS: Don't anybody tell me to have less programs open - that isn't the solution I want to hear ;-)

Add an option to launch a user defined program when double clicking an empty space

It would be nice to allow the user to define a custom application to launch whenever this user double clicks on the taskbar.

High CPU usage in Explorer process

SDL 4 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 4 years ago 4

Firstly, keep up the great work on what is a fantastic product! Something of a modern day Windows PowerToy :-)

I'm frequently seeing high CPU usage in the explorer.exe process, which seems to get worse overtime until I reboot. When I say "high", it's not a large number, so much as a constant underlying activity. The system I'm on is a 6C/12T Xeon and after a few days uptime a single thread in the explorer.exe process uses a constant ~0.3% to ~1.0%. It's not substantial, but it's very noticeable when the system is otherwise idle, and I suspect it's also introducing some lag across the Windows UI, possibly due to certain types of GDI calls which use critical sections.

Taking a look at the thread it seems to be attributable to 7+ TT. I've captured a sample stack trace via Process Explorer and also recorded a more detailed trace via Windows Performance Recorder if that were at all useful. Would you be able to provide any thoughts or advice on how to best troubleshoot this and isolate the underlying cause?

System is Windows 10 v1903 x64 w/ 7+ TT 5.8.

Could not load library (5)

boardtc 4 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 4 years ago 9

The latest update has broken the software for me. I am running Windows 10 Enterprise. On startup/rerun I get:

7+ Taskbar Tweaker: Could not load library (5)
Library initialization failed, perhaps your Windows version is not supported.

Answer

You're probably using Windows 10 version 1709 with the KB4520006 update. The incompatibility was fixed in the beta version of 7+ Taskbar Tweaker. You can get it here.

I use multiple monitors and would be grateful if I had an OWN taskbar per monitor.

Christian 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 4

Greetings to all

I use multiple monitors and would be grateful if I had my own taskbar per monitor.

For months I've been looking for a way to have a taskbar on each of my (4) monitors.

Each of my monitors is divided into its own "subject area". So it would be great if I could pin on the programs used for the individual subject areas.

My example (4 monitors, 3 side by side, a huge one on top)

Monitor 1: only trading software runs here

Monitor 2: (the main screen) here are my browsers open, CMS/CMR, Word/Excel

Monitor 3: DeepL, Rambos for communication

Monitor 4: eMail, Wallets, Youtube :D

Is it possible to do something like this?

Answer

Hi Christian,


Since Windows 8 you can have a taskbar on every monitor, and decide which items appear on every taskbar (e.g. all items on all taskbars, or only items of windows from the same monitor).

See the image below, or visit this link for a detailed guide.
