There is a portable version compressed in ZIP format. The first thing you need to know is that the app has several download methods. For example, the app allows you to change the color, adjust the transparency level, choose between different styles, and even animations. This small application allows you to control the position of the icons on the taskbar. Fully customize the look of the taskbar with TaskbarX.Īs mentioned, Windows does not allow you to customize the taskbar. For this reason, today we will learn how to change the look of the Windows 10 taskbar. Personally, I love changing the look of my operating system. However, Windows is very rigid when it comes to customizing it. It is also possible to set app icons to have them at hand.

Besides the controls that indicate date, time, sound, language among others. For example, the start menu and search menu are located there. In fact, it contains icons and accesses that are very useful for the performance of the system. If you want to change your settings at later time then you can use File -> Import and Export options to export the settings anywhere you like and import them when you want to change something.Hello! The taskbar is a fundamental element in Windows 10. When i'm sure it's stable then i will focus on redesigning it. The configurator may look bad now but, thats temporary. This way TaskbarX doesn't depend on a settings file stored in your appdata that may cause issues with permissions, writing to it because it's in use or even when it runs from the Microsoft Store not able to read the settings. In the background the configurator will create a logon/startup taskschedule with all the needed parameters ( This will not be visible in taskmanger but, in the taskscheduler ' taskschd.msc'). The configurator lets you choose your settings and when clicked on ' Apply' it will show you the new settings you had chosen. TaskbarX now gets its settings through it's commandline parameters which can be found here. However this was causing issues for some people so the new configurator works very differently.

In the previous versions your settings where automatically saved to your appdata as a txt/cfg file. You may have noticed that the project is now renamed to TaskbarX and that the settings works differently now.
