Taskbar++ V1.2

Taskbar++ V1.2 - The Portable Freeware Collection

"Taskbar++ allows you to reorder the taskbar buttons to your liking. Simply press the [Alt] key, and the taskbar will toggle into a "sort" mode where you can drag-and-drop the buttons to reorder them. "

That’s sounds and looks kind of cool.

When I get into a serious coding/qa session I like having my taskbar items in a specific order. I have enough to think about and remember without having to hunt through all the apps on my task bar for the one I need…

And the fact that this is portable and has a very intuitive UI (harder to be more intuitive than dragging the taskbar tasks into the order you want them) makes it cool.

The one very minor issue that I’ve noticed is that when you hold down the ALT to active it, the app seems to use a different codepage, font set, etc. Here’s an example.

Before/Normal:

 

 

After/ALT Pressed:

 

 

Again this is very minor and given the price I’m not complaining…

  1. I think the font change is deliberate myself: its you know that taskbar++ is active.

  2. Is there a similar program which works with Vista? Or can the author of Taskbar++ be contacted to ask him to update the program?

    Thank you!
