Falcon10 | Centering the taskbar icons in real time.


Recommended Posts

I requested this feature because it looks nice. And some people like to do their work in the middle of the screen.

But it never got implemented. So i wrote a tool that does this automatically.

No matter how many icons there are in the taskbar they always get nicly centered.

 

Requirements:

Windows 10

 

Tested on:

1803 x64

1809 x64

 

Download:

Changelog:

Falcon10 Build 27-11-2018 November
* Added simple tray menu for exit & restart

Falcon10 Build 26-11-2018 November
* Supports Windows 10 All builds
* No Admin Required!

 

 

PS: The gui you see in the video is gone for better performance

 

 

Im also working on a unnamed side project using the Falcon10 Mechanics.

That is able to Center the whole taskbar. You have seen in Customatic as a concept. <-- I hope they continue

This is already working as i am typing this topic. But it needs time...

got a reply from the dev: 

 

Yes iam aware of that, this is getting worse from the last month. I can't do anything about this i even contacted MS to whitelist FalconX but no answers. It is a false positive of course but FalconX is modding Windows in realtime so that could be the issue why its getting marked. You have to make an exception for now.

likely the same issue @Raphaël G. has run into with Dopamine. since it's not a 'signed/trusted' app many AVs throw a false positive.

Yes, it is really silly. Cheap AV's flag software based on obscure behavioral checks. Also, software which is delivered with a installer which is not signed using a certificate, have a much bigger chance of getting flagged as malware by such AV's. A certificate is not free and usually, not cheap. A developer which creates software in their free time, and delivers said software for free, cannot be expected to buy a certificate just because some AV's are bad.

    • AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
    • I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
    • Everything they say you can already do yourself on the registry by changing some things.
    • Artist's renderings are so much nicer to view than the real thing, don't you think?
