+Elі Subscriber² Posted October 1, 2021 Subscriber² Share Posted October 1, 2021 I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I find it quite interesting. It allows you to change the appearance of your Windows 11 taskbar to look more like the MacOS dock or those docks you see in some Linux distributions. The tool is called RoundedTB . New features Dynamic mode for Windows 11, providing a dock-like segmented taskbar! Split mode, a simplified version of dynamic mode for Windows 10! Independent margin controls! Better support for TranslucentTB (version 2021.5 and above)! An updated icon (including icons for the Development and Canary builds)! A new help/about window! Debug logging! Bug fixes! More bugs! Check out the project's GitHub page at: https://github.com/torchgm/RoundedTB/releases I would recommend to also watch a short video that demonstrates how it works and shows you how to get around some minor bugs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT4Id5LDZ7o&t=7s hellowalkman and Steven P. 1 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrynalyne Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Did the issue with the taskbar glitching out when switching virtual desktops get fixed? I ran into that when I tried it recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted October 1, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 1, 2021 I like the completely transparent effect, I am going to give this a go tomorrow in my VM. +Elі and hellowalkman 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimate99 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Not bad...but the screen shots showing the system tray separated like that looks awkward. I wish we could move the system tray around, or dock it to the side or on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted October 4, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 4, 2021 Hmm I struggled to see the use of this in Windows 11, it seems TranslucentTB on its own achieves the same effect. https://github.com/TranslucentTB/TranslucentTB/releases/tag/2021.4 Sulphy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the main reason I use it. This program doesn't require installation either and it has almost zero memory or CPU usage. I like the dock style with rounded corners, as it matches the rest of the Windows 11 GUI. Maybe it's just me, but the way it looks by default looks a little odd to me.
