Why love new Windows 7: Taskbar (SuperBar)

 

I start this sequence of posts talking about new taskbar.

Probably it is most publicized news of Windows 7, but certainly it’s first  thing that any users love when try it.

This is new taskbar:

 

The new look is very nice and also very functional: with old task bar, roll around that users open many programs and many windows (in this time I have 5 program each with 4-5 windows) and  find quickly a window is not  easy, but new taskbar change it.

Find a windows it very easy and very fast: all windows are grouped by program file and when go on icon, taskbar shows a preview of window.

 

Other important feature is the frequent opening list: if you do right-click on a icon of taskbar, it shows the list of more opening file from that program. For example, if I do right-click on Window Explorer icon, taskbar shows more opening folder.

The taskbar revision modifies also (finally) the tray bar: now it’s possible customize it with few click. If you click on arrow and then on customize, you  can select behavior icons:

• show icon and notifications
• hide icon and notifications
• only show notifications

In tray bar, we can try also new network icon: now when you click  on network icon, taskbar shows directly available wireless connections.

On right of clock, there is a new button that show a preview of desktop if you pass over it or show desktop if you click it.

Finally a useful option, specially for small monitor, is  the possibility to chose small icon:

1. right-click on empty point
2. click on  proprieties
3. select “use small icon”

This is the result:

If you have other features of new taskbar comment this post.

In the next  post, I show other interesting news of Windows 7 and  also first bugs.

Bye.
