The Windows 10 Taskbar offers nearly identical functionality as the taskbar in Windows 7. As you may know, Microsoft made several important changes to the taskbar behavior when it launched Windows 7.
One primary change was the ability to pin programs and other files to the taskbar.
Programs were created shortly after the introduction of the new taskbar to customize it further. One program that did the job well was 7+ Taskbar Tweaker.
Initially designed for Windows 7, the program's author updated it regularly to make sure it stayed compatible with newer versions of Windows.
Since taskbar functionality itself remained more or less identical in newer versions to that of Windows 7, most functionality that the program offered could also be made available for Windows 8 and now also Windows 10.
Tweak the Windows 10 Taskbar
The latest version of the program is fully compatible with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update version, and previous versions of Windows 10.
You may install the program or select to run it as a portable application instead. When you run it, all customization options that it makes available are displayed on a single page.
Below is an overview of what the program supports right now in its latest version:
- Right-click behavior: display jump lists (default), or displayed the standard window menu.
- Middle-click behavior: open a new program instance (default), or 'switch to', 'minimize' or 'close'.
- Drop program on taskbar: pin to the taskbar (default), open with.
- Hover over icon: show thumbnail preview (default), or 'list', 'show tooltip', or do nothing.
- Thumbnails: drag to reorder, and 'left click on the active thumbnail minimizes the window'.
- Pinned items: Remove extra gap between items, and open with double-click.
- Grouping: Group by application ID (default), or don't group.
- Options for don't group: place new items next to existing ones, don't group pinned items, drag within/between groups using right mouse button.
- Combining: Use taskbar settings (default), or combined grouped buttons, or 'don't combine grouped buttons'.
- Decombine: Active group, on mouse however.
- Left-click on combined items: open thumbnail preview (default), cycle through windows, or 'open last window if inactive, otheerwise open thumbnail preview
- Mouse Wheel behavior: Cycle between taskbar buttons and/or skip minimized windows.
- Minimize/restore when mouse is over: taskbar buttons, thumbnails.
- Control volume when mouse is over: taskbar, notification area.
- Double-click/middle-click on empty space: do nothing (default), perform various actions such as opening task manager, Ctrl-Alt-Tab, Toggle mute, show desktop.
- Other options: hide the start button, hide the 'show desktop' button', 'display seconds on the tray clock', reserve empty space on taskbar.
As you can see, there is a lot to customize when it comes to the program. You may use it to disable the jump list feature for instance, change middle click behavior to close instead of open new instance, or disable the displaying of thumbnails when you hover over open programs in the taskbar.
Closing Words
7+ Taskbar Tweaker is a handy program for all versions of Windows starting with Windows 7. It is fully compatible with the most recent release version of Windows 10, Microsoft's newest operating system.
If you want to tweak the Windows 10 taskbar, this is the program that you may want to try first for that purpose.
Now You: Have you pinned programs to your taskbar?

With default settings, Windows 10 displays a battery icon in the system tray area of taskbar. The battery icon on the taskbar gives a rough idea about the current status of battery’s charge level but it’s hard to make out the actual remaining battery capacity by having a look at the battery icon.
Modern smartphone operating systems as well as desktop operating systems such as Android, iOS and macOS offer an option to show the percentage of battery charge.
Sure, you can hover the mouse cursor on the battery icon on the Windows 10 taskbar to see the remaining battery capacity in percentage but clicking on the battery icon each time to know the remaining battery charge in terms of percentage doesn’t make sense at all.
Would not it be nice if there was an option to show battery percentage on your Windows 10 taskbar instead of the default battery icon? Unfortunately, Windows 10 doesn’t offer an option to replace battery icon with battery percentage, at least for now.
BatteryBar free version for Windows 10
Rather than clicking on the battery icon every time you want to know the remaining battery level in terms of percentage, you can download a free software called BatteryBar.
The basic version of BatteryBar is a free utility for Windows operating system to give you some useful information about the battery. The free version of BatteryBar program can display accurate battery percentage on your taskbar without taking much space.
Enabling and using BatteryBar
The BatteryBar appears on the taskbar right after you install the program. But if it’s not showing up taskbar, right-click on the empty spot on the taskbar, click Toolbars and then click BatteryBar to show BatteryBar on your Windows 10 taskbar.
The BatteryBar icon, as you can see in pictures, is modern and blends very well with other system icons on the taskbar such as Wi-Fi and Volume.
With default settings, BatteryBar displays time remaining instead of battery percentage. Simply perform a click on the BatteryBar in the taskbar to toggle between time remaining and percentage.
Hover the mouse over BatteryBar percentage to see information about the actual capacity of the battery, discharge rate, remaining time, full runtime, battery wear and elapsed time since last charge.
The basic, free version of BatteryBar doesn’t display low, critical and full battery notifications. Also, there is no way to change or customize the default look of the BatteryBar on the taskbar with custom themes and fonts. That said, the default look of the BatteryBar is really nice.
Overall, BatteryBar program is a ridiculously simple program and works with Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 as well.
If you’re looking for a smart way to show battery percentage on your Windows 10 taskbar, download BatteryBar basic version (free) right away.
Last but not the least, the BatteryBar program is very low on system resources. So you can keep it running all the time without worrying about resource usage.
To close BatteryBar program, right-click on it and then click Close Toolbar option.
Tip: Once you add BatteryBar to the taskbar, you can either hide the original Windows 10 battery icon.
Did you know that there is a handy feature called Battery Saver in Windows 10 to enhance battery backup time?

On Windows 10, every time you hover over an app icon in the taskbar you get a small pop-over preview of the app's window. If you happen to have multiple windows or tabs of that app open, that preview expands to show every one of them. They can be useful — clicking one takes you straight to that app. But sometimes it just gets in the way. Thankfully, you can disable this feature. It's not as easy as it used to be, but there's a workaround for killing app preview thumbnails on Windows 10.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to edit the Registry to disable Taskbar thumbnail preview, and only make them appear when clicking the app button.
How to disable Taskbar thumbnails
Important: As always, this is a friendly reminder to let you know that editing the registry is risky, and it can cause irreversible damage to your installation if you don't do it correctly. It's recommended to make a full backup of your PC before proceeding.
To disable Taskbar thumbnails on Windows 10, do the following:
- Use the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut to open the Run command
- Type regedit, and click OK to open the registry.
- Browse the following path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced
- Select the System (folder) key, and right-click on the right side, select New, and click on DWORD (32-bit) Value.
- Name the new DWORD ExtendedUIHoverTime and press Enter.
- Double-click the newly created DWORD and change its value to 30000.
- Click OK.
- Close the Registry.
- Restart your computer to complete the task.
It's important to note that Windows 10 doesn't have a particular option to turn off Taskbar thumbnail, but we can use the ExtendedUIHoverTime Registry tweak to delay the time to show the previews as an alternative workaround.
In the steps, we used the value 30000, which represents the delay time in milliseconds. This means that we're delaying thumbnails to appear on hover for 30 seconds, which should be more than enough to effectively disable the feature.
Once you completed the steps, you will no longer see Taskbar previews when hovering over apps, but you will still be able to see the thumbnails by clicking the app button, which is less intrusive.
At any time you can revert the changes by following the steps, but on step 6 change the value from 30000 to 0. Alternatively, you can right-click and select Delete to remove the ExtendedUIHoverTime DWORD.
