It looks just as fine whether you keep your taskbar centered or to the left. TaskbarXI supports both central and left-sided taskbars and works even if your computer is equipped with more than one monitor, applying the changes on all. Essentially, the areas of the taskbar that have no icons practically disappear, leaving room for the ones that do include pinned icons. To be much more specific, once TaskbarXI is running, the taskbar in Windows 11 automatically turns into a dock, although not a floating one, like in Mac OS. This lightweight application allows you to modify the appearance of the Windows taskbar. Turn your Windows 11 taskbar into a dockĬreated by the developer of TaskbarX (formerly FalconX), TaskbarXI is practically the predecessor of the X edition. TaskbarXI is one that targets the Windows 11 taskbar. While there are a few customization options available, these are limited for the taskbar and that is why developers started to create tools that allow tweaking of the desktop. I'm sure whether this will help anyone else, but it does seem to be behaving consistently for me right now, through multiple logout, sleep, and reboot cycles.Windows 11 comes with various enhancements compared to previous Windows iterations, some of the most noticeable ones being related to the taskbar and the working area, in general. Then, I made the following changes on the Position tab, to pull the taskbar into the right place:
Previously, I was starting TaskbarX with a shortcut in the shell:startup folder. So, this is a good enough solution for me right now.īelow are the specific changes I made to get things working again. I fixed that using a negative offset that pulls the taskbar back to the left, and the result looks basically like it did before I patched Windows. However, even with that delay, the taskbar still is not entirely centered. So, part of the solution is to delay the start of TaskbarX until after everything in the tray has fully started. If TaskbarX starts before the tray is fully populated, then it seems to get confused about the width of the screen and incorrectly centers the taskbar. I also tested with TaskbarX v1.6.9, but got the same behavior.Īfter playing with this for a while, I've concluded that the problem seems to have a timing component and also seems to be related to the tray. I upgraded to TaskbarX v1.7.2, which fixed that problem, but then the taskbar wasn't centered. After reboot, the taskbar disappeared completely. Yesterday, I pulled in the 21H1 feature update (taking me to build 19043.1237).
I have a single monitor running at 2560x1440 resolution. I've been using TaskbarX v1.6.3 for about a year with no problems on Windows 10 Pro.
