Hendrick Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 How come "leaked photos" are always blurry? I wouldn't count on it... in all honestly, it looks like a modified taskbar from PCLinuxOS http://www.desktoplinux.com/files/article105/pclinuxos-0.jpg Change the clock color and the icons, turn off the multi-desktop, and there you have it. Not too hard by any stretch of the imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda X Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Probably. MS has been tossing the concept for a while. It first made a public appearance at D6. You can see HR shots of it at the Win Super Site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted October 28, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 28, 2008 A mashup of a taskbar and dock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigosity Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I'd say it's Vista resized to two rows high, and quick launch set to large icons mode.... and a crashed app-switcher portion ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayepecks Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I've seen this concept before, actually. It was on one of the official things. I don't like it from what I've seen, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharp65 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I do believe these are genuine, but we shall find out tomorrow :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Ride Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 I think this taskbar looks alot better than the current one in Windows Vista, i don't like the default black colour scheme, although i wish they would change the Start Menu a bit more than planned. Why not centre the Orb and Start Menu or completely redesign it instead of refining it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Dee Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Yes, its genuine, the Taskbar features rearrangeable buttons with pop out thumbnails I have been informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScorpioRGc1 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Too big for my taste. But at least they're trying to think of something different. If that's it, though, I hope I can go back to a small Vista-like one with just some Quick Launch icons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted October 28, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted October 28, 2008 I dunno what to say about that unless I see it in action. I think since the desktop is "3D" now that the taskbar should be as well. Minimizing apps which then look like little thumbs at the bottom insted of just a small icon and text would be nice. I dunno really, but you have to figure they can do so much with WPF and so on in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denholm Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Looks good. Hope the new taskbar is in Beta 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trek Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Looks good. Hope the new taskbar is in Beta 1. I don't think so. One of the MS Partner videos had a PM mention the new taskbar but he said it would only be shown off at PDC, not included in the M2 build given out to attendees.

Kristian Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 They're giving out M3 at PDC, not beta 1. So they might yet ship the new taskbar in Beta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the MS Partner videos had a PM mention the new taskbar but he said it would only be shown off at PDC, not included in the M2 build given out to attendees. Umm. :unsure: that's why I said that I hope the new taskbar makes it into Beta 1. I read that an 'M3' build is being given to developers at PDC, I assume an M3 build still comes before Beta1.
