Make Taskbar buttons appear in TLB menu? - kriten - 06-08-2006
I would like to get the taskbar buttons to appear in a Menu button of
TLB. This way I can avoid the scummy looking, clumsy default MS way of doing things if the "Group similar taskbar buttons" option is not selected.
My TLB takes about 80% of the taskbar space. I have only a couple of tray icons unhidden. This leaves about 15% space for taskbar buttons of open or minimized windows. As soon as I get more than a couple of open windows I see some grey up/down arrows appear and have to use those to find the window I want. I figure a TLB menu with taskbar buttons dynamically created inside it would be magnificent.
Is there a way to achieve this?
If not, maybe a future feature?:lol:
Cheers

This feature will be released as plugin. soon.
BTW 80% for TLB is too much. Create menus and move some shortcuts there. You can setup TLB to avoid clicks to open menus. This is much better then place all shortcuts on toolbar

Great to hear this feature is on the cards.

But 25% is taken up by Clock and Volume plugins, 5% by Start
I have 9 menu icons and only 7 icons for system things
that usually appear in MyComputer. I suppose I could put them
in a menu but it seems so convenient where they are
Is there a systemic reason for 80% being too much?
(Like it uses too many resources)

Do you realize that you can move the TLB to the right, left, top or bottom of the screen? Then you can have a whole screen's width for TLB and your Taskbar would be available for more items.

Yep! Thanks Q.
Already have mine at the top with the taskbar. But I really want to save screen real estate. Picky I know, but that's me 8)

A big thanks to the Window List Plugin developers.
Downloaded and installed and in use as I type.
Much nicer than Alt-Tab.
Well done guys!
Thanks.
