Description
TASKDOCK IS NO LONGER DEVELOP, MAINTAINED OR SUPPORTED. DOWNLOADING IS USE-AT-YOUR-OWN-RISK, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO REAL RISK TO IT. IF YOU DOWNLOAD AND TRY IT, AND IT DOES NOT WORK, PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE ME FOR HELP. I DO NOT HAVE THE SOURCE CODE FOR THIS APP, AND AS SUCH, I CAN NOT FIX, UPDATE, OR MAINTAIN IT.WINDOWS 7 ONLY.
TaskDock gives the Windows 7 Superbar (Taskbar) a bit more of a "dock" like feel. It will center and re-adjust the Tasks area of the taskbar, centering it, expanding and contracting with new apps and old apps, as they are created and terminated.
~** Added in a manual Config Centering applet. from the tray icon menu > Config Centering. Drag the arrow to wherever (only horizontal registers) and double-click on the green arrow to save and apply the centering. **~
TO EXIT THE APP : (read this, ok?) it's icon is located in the system tray, a green orb with a circle around it. Right click. it has only one option, that is EXIT. Give it some time, and it will restore your taskbar to how it should be.
This is my first post in #Design -Shell, hope yall like it.

Doesn't seem to be working, unfortunately. I have Windows 7 SP1 and all it did was cause my pinned icons to move a little to the left behind the start button.

sorry, it is no longer developed. please do not use it, sorry.

Alright. I've already decided to just use Winstep instead of centering my taskbar, so that's fine.

honestly, no idea, the project is dead. you can try but i promise nothing

ya i tested it a little bit ago. it didn't work properly. I'm not sure if it was due to me using themes with modified .msstyles though. it simply didn't center the icons. instead it put them to the left of the start menu button for some odd reason.

sounds like MS changed the way that the dock is laid out in program, sorry.

nope, source code lost in a hdd crash. Also, I have left Windows behind, I use Linux (Kubuntu) now.

How's that been going for you? I dual boot Win10 and Gnome.

Looks really cool, but can you make it work on nVidia Surround multimonitor set (i.e. really wide screen)? My resolution is 5760x1200 and an annoying effect of Surround is that all app icons are on the far left on the task bar. I'd love to have them aligned in the center of the middle screen. But when I try to set the position using your app, it crashes instantly saying:
Run-time error '6':
Overflow
Center.txt file contains only this " 43200 "
Could something be done ebout this? I can't use DisplayFusion since Windows can see just one big screen, not three separate screens.
PS: Can you also move the Start Orb? I think Windows doesn't support such tweak, but man that would be so cool.
Thank you for what you do!

It's quite good. But after reboot my computer, I have to change its position again, is there any way to make it "stable"?
Thanks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It should remember the position, but it has this thing with not doing so that i never could figure out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yah it remembers the position, it shows up a notepad with number, but somehow Windows, maybe, changes itself. I don't know
Manually re-center would be much easier if the green arrow was not disappear until we click [x] - close button.
Your software is the only one do the job "auto center", I very appreciate it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well the math for the autocenter is screen.width /2 - dock.width /2 and that # should be where the left of the dock is supposed to be. it's very simple, i dont know why others have not made use of it yet... go figure.
I will look in to re-writing the app in .net. A LOT of people seem to still make use of it, so it is justified i guess.

Great!! I hope your software would be released soon!!!
Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Just saw this. Cool app, but I tried to make it so that I have all my main apps in the taskbar already.

Hey great app, I was led here by your post over @ the win7 forums, I don't mean to criticise but the app doesn't strictly handle this very well. Quote: "expanding and contracting with new apps and old apps, as they are created and terminated" however it does work correctly if you go to the taskbar, right click properties, taskbar buttons: and then click "always combine, hide labels.
I just noticed this that's all, its very minor, but perhaps if you have time you can implement this in an updated version, up to you.
I also want to point out to everyone that this can be very easily done without this app (If a little more fiddly) but the app does make the process quicker and/or easier.
See for yourself:

Anyway, thanks alot for your work Solo-Dev!

yeah there need to be better task handlers for it, sadly, at the time, i could not find a way to count the tasks on the bar, and then to apply that math. Currently I am in Linux, so my windows apps days may be a bit limited.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol yeah I don't blame you, myself I use both, mostly windows right now cause of rainmeter, still learning it really, so much I don't know maybe you could help, its the variables what used to be the code I'm having trouble with, like for example couple of things, I need the enigma taskbar higher and I want the blue vision digi clock in a different colour things like that I need help on.

Can't get it to work. The config centering window seems all glitchy. There is no arrow and I can't drag any thing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
the arrow tends to show up at the top of the screen. it's old and dead software anyway, dont use it.

Oh ok, thanks anyway.

Wish I could edit....
Here is the Config window for me. [link]
Here is the only result I can manage to get.
With this skin, I can't put in a new toolbar and use it to center everything because it makes the taskbar larger, which I am avoiding.
Any ideas why I am getting this result?

eh. didn't post my taskbar result. [link]

Is there any way to center the icons automatically. For the case that you run applications which are not pinned on the taskbar?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was never able to figure that out, so no, sorry.

Bugged for me running 64bit. Was not centered properly from start. When using the config I had to save it far of to the right to really center the buttons. When I finally got it to center the buttons it get's messed up if I open another window or close a existing one. Shame the app could'nt update the alignment and keep the buttons centered I really like what this app was made to do.

Yeah, I am working on a new version of it, to be added in with UserTaskTool... So keep an eye out for that project.

you know thats funny because i have been thinking of re-writing the app in .Net...

I tried always combine,hide labels. It doesn't always center the apps.. I think you need to work on that.

Cool! I'm using it now and it works perfect.. My res is 1920x1080.. Really nice work bro!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
yes it does. are you using Windows 7? or another OS? If it does not work for you, then dont worry over it, this is non-supported software anyway. Not getting developed anymore.

I'm using windows 7, and yeah, it doesn't work for me >.<

Ok, I think i know whats wrong. When you start the app, it doesnt center the taskbar, right? well, go to the system tray (the "up" arrow next to the connection meter, etc...) and look for a small green orb. Right-click on the orb and choose Config Centering". Up near the top of your screen a small window will show up that has a double-arrow. Normally it starts up in the horizontal-center of the screen. Just double-click the green double-arrow, not the close box, and the taskbar items should re-center thereselves to the center. Doing the arrow saves the information, so it should be right next time you run the app.
