I was talking about Windows' taskbar properties, i.e. right click -> Properties.

From the buggy behavior, I guess it is "Combine when taskbar is full".


The thing is combining options weren't designed to work with this option.

With "Combine when taskbar is full" Windows decides when to combine/decombine groups, according to the available free space. It doesn't expect other apps to play with the combining.


So either switch to "Never combine", or disable the decombining options.

It looks quite buggy in general.
What is your configuration in Taskbar Properties under "Taskbar buttons"?

I couldn't reproduce the first bug (I'm not sure I fully understood it).

As for the right-clicking - that's how it works for me, it doesn't combine back when a right click menu is shown.


A video might make things clearer.
Can't reproduce it on Windows  7 x64, too.
When I middle click on the empty space, it immediately slides down.

That's why I closed it.

There is a new ticket about custom date format:

Thanks for the feedback!

I'd say an alpha/beta stage is an overkill for such a small app.

I thought about implementing a silent update option, which will update e.g. a week after the release, to make sure it's more or less stable.
I don't want to introduce other prefs for the updating process, as I don't think they're necessary - people just expect it to work (KISS principle). I might make it configurable from the registry, though.
It was already requested:

My reply:
"For the tweaker to remember your grouped windows, it has to be able to somehow identify them, like window title or window class (both are not reliable).
...

Let’s say I have this in my taskbar:
[group: notepad & firefox] [firefox] [group: notepad & explorer]
What should the tweaker remember?"


What you can do is to bind a shortcut with a specific Application ID.
One way achieving it is using win7appid:
