Taskbar in Windows 7

The Windows 7 taskbar is where you find all opened programs. You could quickly move to other programs only by left clicking an icon on the taskbar. Whenever you find that you no longer use a program that is on the taskbar, you can easily unpin it by left-clicking an icon and moving the cursor to ‘unpin’. But if you wish to use it again in the future, you need to go through a few steps. It is easy to know what taskbar programs are currently open because you’ll see a transparent window near the icon. A few windows of a specific program like Photoshop will show up as some transparent windows. If you roll over an icon with mouse cursor, a window thumbnail will open. It is easy to choose which Photoshop file to work on.

Let’s say you have multiple Photoshop .psd files open and you need to close some of them. As the preview thumbnails show up, move the cursor to a window you want to close. When you move over a thumbnail, a small X will show up. To close the .psd file, you need to click the X icon and the file will close leaving the other files open. It is much easier and simpler than having to go to all open windows to close them.

Windows 7 taskbar is ten pixels taller than taskbar in Windows Vista to fit a new bigger default icon size and touch screen input, though you can still use a smaller taskbar. Running programs are denoted by border frames around the icons, within those borders, a color effect (based on the dominant RGB value of that icon) that follows the cursor also shows the opened status of an application. Windows 7 glass taskbar is slightly more transparent. By default, taskbar buttons show icons, not program titles, unless they’re set not to combine.
