  1. Taskbar с живыми превью работающих приложений (олдскул на NET11)

    У вас тоже есть такая проблема на windows, что превью к таскбару не прилипает? Вот хочешь посмотреть (быстро и без переключения) — "что там скрипт/агент/отладчик прямо сейчас делают?" — наводишь на иконку в таскбаре и смотришь сильно прищуриваясь. Только мышку отвёл — и всё пропало. А раскладывать всё по сеткам windows‑окон сложно: во‑первых напрягает это делать на каждый запуск нового окна, во‑вторых при переключениях получается сюрреалистичная картина «поверх окон одного экрана висят половинки/четвертинки другого». А тут у меня несколько параллельных процессов по несколько часов и я во время работы поймал себя на постоянных переключениях между окнами, что сильно отвлекает. Решил что «хватит это терпеть» и запилил (через Claude) маленькое приложение, которое решает всю проблему — montab (Monitoring Tab). Поскольку это windows и нужны прямые системные API — решил делать на NET11. А потом оптимизировать, чтобы размер был минимальный и без всяких зависимостей. Смотреть что получилось

  2. Lilbits: A RISC-V router (crowdfunding), an E Ink color dev kit, and Windows 11 taskbar customization

    As promised, Microsoft is bringing back the ability to reposition the Windows taskbar… although you can’t actually do it just yet unless your a member of the Windows 11 Insider Preview program running an experimental build of Windows 11. More options for customizing the Start Menu are also rolling out to Insiders.

    In other recent tech news from around the web, a crowdfunding project is […]

  6. Heute wieder so ein "Linux auf dem Desktop ist einfach nur genial"-Moment, mit einer eigentlich unbedeutenden Kleinigkeit (die mich aber optimal unterstützt):

    Launcher (Panellauncher / Starter / Anwendungssymbole) lassen sich auf der Leiste (Panel) individuell gruppieren, z. B. nach Thema oder Usecase. Das fördert die Übersichtlichkeit, schafft Platz, vereinfacht und beschleunigt die Nutzung.

  8. Just heard Microsoft is making the Win11 taskbar movable.

    It took them nigh FIVE YEARS and (I'm not exaggerating) I moved Win10>Linux a year ago as they had publicly "identified" the ask when the OS had been in beta, and hadn't implemented it by early 2025. This was the proof to me that the canary was dead.

    Yeah, there were copilot and ads, but without using the OS I couldn't imagine how it affected usability.

    Not going back, though.

  10. 🖥️ Who knew the pinnacle of #innovation would be reinventing the #taskbar for a system that already has one? 🙄 For $9.99 a year, transform your #macOS experience from "meh" to "also meh," with a searchable launcher no one asked for and a desktop switcher that’s apparently not just command-tab. 🚀

  12. Ooh... Me like #KDE #Plasma 6.6 very much! This is a nice improvement over Plasma 6.5 and an incredible improvement over whatever version of Plasma that was shipped with #Kubuntu 25.10. Also, the #upgrade went pretty smooth. No show-stoppers. The only thing I don't like is that the #taskbar at the bottom has a bunch of wasted space around the taskbar. I mean, aesthetically it looks nice but screen pixels are finite and precious. I'd prefer not to have any wasted space if I can help it.

  14. Windows 11 updates will scale back unnecessary Copilot integrations, let you reposition the taskbar, and more

    Windows 11 turns five years old later this year. But there are some folks who are reluctant to move on from Windows 10, even though Microsoft ended mainstream support for that operating system in 2025.

    Among other things, many users complain that Windows 11 is full of unnecessary features (like AI everywhere), while removing some customization features that earlier versions of Windows had […]

  16. »On a 16:9 display, giving up 10% of your vertical real estate is really stupid. On any operating system, have a toolbar at the top of the screen and another one at the bottom of the screen is awful. It's bad when Mac does it too. The menu bar is a holdover from a time when you could only run one app at a time, and has no place in a proper multitasking OS.«

  18. Windows 11 gaslit me with ghost icons. Clearing icon cache did nothing. SFC and DISM? A joke, like always.

    Finally found the culprit: a 10-year-old registry from "shellex". Banished the ghosts with a simple rename.

  20. Windows has PERSISTANT bugs in the "autohide" function for its Task Bar that drive me nuts. I always want "autohide" on, and regularly access the task-bar by hovering at the bottom of the screen. It's part of my workflow. And it BREAKS, randomly, all the time. Earlier this week it broke and I can't fix it. Reboots, turning it off and on, my usual shortcut of minimizing all windows and clicking the desktop, all failed. I don't know why.
