Make it beautiful the way you want

If you are tired of the default taskbar in Windows 10 or Windows 11, you can use TaskbarX, an open-source tool by Chris Andriessen that lets you customize the Windows taskbar.

TaskbarX offers the old-fashioned Windows dock where your app icons are in the middle position or in the position you configure. It also allows you to customize taskbar animations, taskbar icon positions, and startup delay. You can use it with the default bottom taskbar or even with the vertical taskbar configuration. It also offers unlimited taskbars.

This guide will walk you through downloading and configuring TaskbarX for your Windows system. If your taskbar is not working at all, you should fix that issue before proceeding with this guide.
