Post New Requests Here / Re: DONE: Organize the Taskbar, organize the System Tray

« on: April 24, 2006, 01:50 PM »

I've been using Taskbar++ for a few days now and I like it a lot. Since some people have had trouble using it, here's how:

Start it up (put it in the Startup group)

To rearrange items:
- move the cursor to the task bar
- Hold down the Alt key for 2 seconds until the task bar items change in appearance
- While holding the Alt key, Drag and drop task bar items as you see fit.

The program doesn't remember the changes you've made for the next time you start up... it just rearranges things


Now that I've got a good Task bar manager, I'll look into all the good suggestions you guys have had for a system tray manager. :-)

Wouldn't it be nice if you always knew the order of the items in the Windows Taskbar?

The program (let's call it TaskbarOrganizer) would specify the order in which the taskbar items appear. Possibly something like this:
All icons in TaskbarOrganizer's list will appear to the left of / before any other icon. When a program in TaskbarOrganizer's list is started, it pushes the taskbar icon for other programs to the right to make way for it. Items in the list have a user specified order, for example: 1-Notepad.exe, 2-Calc.exe, 3-Firefox.

The benefit would be that you'd always know where to look for your favorite programs in the taskbar when they are running. No more hunting the bottom of the screen!
