Any update on a fix for vertical taskbar on the left or the right of the screen?

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

I have seen a few questions and uncommitting replies on this topic.

Functionality with start is good, but it would be really nice with a vertical taskbar. I think it would allow a lot of users to upgrade to win11 without losing a couple days fighting the win11 UI, and then simply downgrading to win10 again.

Is the functionality in development? is it in the pipeline? is it even being considered or discussed?

 

Best Regards,

Lau

Honestly, I think that explorerpatcher is the best we will get for Windows 11.

The reason... Windows 12 beta is probably only a year (or even less) away.

I do believe the demand is high enough for a vertical taskbar and would guess that either Microsoft makes it happen or Stardock expands their taskbar development further at that time and makes it happen. Only it will likely be for Windows 12.

Thanks for the fast response PhoenixRising1!

I'll give ExplorerPatcher a go - looks like good advice.

And then hope that StarDock implements it for Win12, or that MS stops removing functionality just to make windows look more like the competition.

 

Cheers, Lau
