The Windows taskbar is one of the biggest reasons why I couldn't live with Windows. I tried (for the sake of my games), I really did. But the grouping behavior just puts me off. I can't live without text so I switched back to the old rectangular bar with text and an icon style instead of the square with icon style. But say I have two Explorer windows open. Both would be placed right next to each other and moving one moves the other. What if I want one that's less active on the left while I place the other one on the right with all the other related tasks that I'm actively working on? Can't do it. That "we chose how you will do things and that's that" attitude made me run back to Linux where I can do whatever I want. tint2 + conky + openbox is all I need. :)
- gus_massa 15y agoYou should try the 7 Taskbar Tweaker : http://rammichael.com/7-taskbar-tweaker-v2-0 http://rammichael.com/7-taskbar-tweaker-v2-0 (with video demo) It aloud you to reorder the tasks in any order, for example: [Chrome] [Notepad] [Chrome] [Word] [Exel] [Chrome] [Chrome] [Notepad] I am using an old version with "Grouping\Don´tGroup" enabled. But the new version can create custom groups, that seams to be better. P.S.: And if you miss the blinking network indicator in the systemtray, you can use the Network Activity Indicator: http://www.itsamples.com/network-activity-indicator.html http://www.itsamples.com/network-activity-indicator.html
