I've just released v5.7.0.1 beta which should solve the issue. Please try it and let me know if it solves the issue for you.

By the way, I could reproduce the black window. It happens when you use the classic volume control.

Should be fixed in v5.6.2.4 beta. Please try it for a while, and let me know if the issue comes back.

While I don't plan to implement it as a feature of the tweaker at this time, it can be partially addressed by pinning the desired programs in the desired order. The side effect, of course, is that there will be a pinned item when the program is not running.

Sorry for the late reply - the topic was mentioned here and it grabbed my attention.

That sounds like a very specific feature. I don't think that it will ever be implemented as a feature in the tweaker (sorry), but if you're into programming, you can try using the 7+ Taskbar Tweaking Library for the task.

As for the linked topic, it's a bit different, and can be partially addressed by pinning the desired programs in the desired order. The side effect, of course, is that there will be a pinned item when the program is not running.

That sounds like a very specific and yet non-trivial feature to implement. I don't think that it will ever be implemented as a feature in the tweaker (sorry), but if you're into programming, you can try using the 7+ Taskbar Tweaking Library for the task.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll consider it. Note that currently you can use the "Web page" link and click the "changelog" link on that page.

I'll try to reproduce it when I have the chance. To make it easier for me, can you see if there's anything that triggers a bug, such as a resolution change, DPI change, or a newly attached external monitor. Thanks.

Please provide more details. Include your tweaker's settings, and a screenshot (or even better, a video) that demonstrates the issue.

Note that "Group by Application ID" is the default system settings, so by choosing it you say 7+ Taskbar Tweaker to not change anything and let the system use the default behavior, as if the tweaker is not being used.

There's no minimize/restore in the notification area. The notification area contains buttons that applications can create, and these buttons can react to events such as left/middle/right/double mouse click. Several apps hide/show/minimize/restore their window in response to some of the events, so it looks similar to the taskbar buttons, but it's just a coincidence, and is not consistent across apps.

If you want to re-map the whell scrolling event over your notification area to be treated as a left mouse click, for example, you can use a nifty tool called X-Mouse Button Control.

The implementation of hiding the icon is very simple, and I don't remember other users reporting issues with it. Can you try to find a way to reproduce it? Perhaps another program on your computer conflicts with it?
