Taskbar is a transparent taskbar to collect users favorite applications and run them in a simple click. It is inspired both from Kde 3.4 taskbar and OsX kicker.
Taskbar supports the following features
- tooltips are displayed when the pointer stays long enough on a button;
- the application icons are animated when the pointer pass over them or click on them. Three icon zooming modes are available (fixed, minimal, and hyperbolic);
- buttons are added/removed by right clicking and select the corresponding action in a popup menu;
- buttons can be reordered by middle-clicking on a button and moving it around.
- the layout maybe either vertical, horizontal or box-like (with a given number of columns);
- the taskbar can be placed anywhere on the desktop and moved around at will by just left-clicking on it and moving the pointer. A set of predefined position around the desktop is also available.
- button names can optionally be added bellow the icons;
- the taskbar can be automatically hidden when the mouse pointer leaves its active area. This feature is enabled only for certain (natural) combinations of taskbar layout and predefined positions.
Note: at first install, the taskbar is empty. To add a button, right-click, select add button and fill in the dialog that appears.
