In Windows 7 heeft de taakbalk een hoop meer functionaliteit gekregen dan in vorige versies van Windows. Met 7 Taskbar Tweaker is het mogelijk om die functionaliteit tot in de puntjes in te stellen en af te regelen. Zo is het mogelijk om in te stellen welke programma's wel of niet mogen groeperen, kan de volgorde van items worden aangepast en kunnen verschillende schermen tegelijk worden geminimaliseerd of gesloten. Versie 3.0 is beschikbaar gekomen en het changelog daarvan ziet er als volgt uit:
New options in this release:Also in this release:
- Mouse wheel options. You can scroll between taskbar items with the mouse wheel, as well as minimize/restore a window when hovering a taskbar item or a thumbnail.
- Decombining the active group. This option will keep the currently active group decombined, similarly to the “decombine on mouse hover” feature.
I’ve also made a video that demonstrates the new (and some of the old) features:
- New interface logic. The options are now divided into three categories: Taskbar items, Grouping and combining, and Other, which will make it easier for you to navigate through them, and will make it easier for me to add new options. Special thanks to Arcyon for giving me some tips about the interface.
- Improved stability. The previous versions had some flaws regarding thread safety. This could rarely lead to a crash, a Taskbar Inspector window that does not close, or some other issue. The new version fixes these.
