Top 19 Taskbar Open-Source Projects

  • TranslucentTB

    A lightweight utility that makes the Windows taskbar translucent/transparent.

    Project mention: I had to do it. | /r/pcmasterrace | 2023-06-02

    Take a look at TranslucentTB. It makes your taskbar see through. Your icons are still there like normal, but the white bar itself is gone. This makes any desktop look way better imo.

    What an absolute mess. In the meantime I'm glad to have seen alternatives like yasb[1] popping up.

    Project mention: "Homescreen" launchers for external desktops | /r/androiddev | 2023-05-30

    Or does Android maybe already work this way? I am not aware of any desktop-mode launchers. I am aware of Taskbar, but as far as I recall, it does not provide everything that a desktop environment does. I could be wrong though.

    Project mention: Best way to pin "Company Portal" to taskbar on Win11? | /r/Intune | 2023-04-13

    Someone here mentioned syspin (I prefer its OSS alternative pttb) which works great but be warned that both of them refuse to pin a file explorer shortcut for some reason. You can pin %systemroot%\explorer.exe but whenever you click on the explorer.exe shortcut it just opens up a new file explorer tab which doesn't look nice
