im not fully happy with the new taskbar

do u guys too ?

well when i want to go to last windows i need to click on the

taskbar and then search the current windows i was before

which is really small windows hard to know 100% that is the window

i use aero peak when i want to search something that i duno sure how its looks

i dont use alt-tab cos i put my hands only when i writing

anyone could suggest me

anyway to set to last window to be open automatically when i click the taskbar ?

thx

yeah needs cascade other than that youll get used to it. sometimes it brings the wrong window to the front so its still a little buggy.

disable grouping. it will return to the vista-like task bar (as i have done).

you can enable grouping only when taskbar is full.

i'm happy with certain aspects of the taskbar, such as jumplists.

That is my main concern with the new taskbar: It doesn't show the last used window of a given program when clicking on the icon.

Another one is that you can't pin folders with their own icon because you only get to pin them to Windows Explorer.

thx helped alot

Much like the rest of Windows 7 - Vista for idiots - the new taskbar is complete horsecrap, yes.

well that is one person's opinion

Well, technically that's true, because it's a folder and there's already a "folder" in the taskbar (Windows Explorer), which would be used anyway to open said folder. I understand what you mean (a direct link to a folder), but technically it's behaving as expected. Whether or not that's good, is probably up to the beholder. But for the sake of consistency, it is at least expected behavior.

Also using 'Use Small Icons' in the taskbar properties helped me, it might help you too.. (its too large by default, really!)

i am totally doing that, easier to use and looks much nicer.

Is there any indication on the taskbar icons that show if some are in fact minimized windows and not shortcuts?

Yes, they're boxed around and have a glass overlay.

See the linked screenshot above

or just get rid of the shortcuts, they are useless imo, i just keep the one for library
