> More taskbar customization, including vertical and top positions: Repositioning the taskbar is one of the top asks we’ve heard from you. We are introducing the ability to reposition it to the top or sides of your screen, making it easier to personalize your workspace.

I wonder if this will include being able to put it on the non-primary display once again. It's not mentioned, but that was one of the biggest frustrations with Windows 11. It seems their focus is exclusively on single display devices.

It also ruined my flow for my flight sim until I found a workaround. The fullscreen window wishes to launch to the primary display, which means losing the useful bits of the taskbar.

I love what they're saying, but my faith in them is very, very is low.

I cannot recommend StartAllBack enough.

I recently managed to configure StartAllBack to make practically everything look like Windows 7, and it's improved the experience ten times over

		I have also configured my Windows 11 to look and act like Windows 7. I like my taskbar to be a list of open windows with labels. The tray area and the start menu is replicated across all my monitors. I also have set the classic right-click menus. There are some things about Windows 11 I like but a lot of it seems to be designed by people who use Mac OS (graphic designers).

I used that for a time, but it's licensing made me move to WindHawk.

		What's wrong with it's licensing?

I can't believe I'm reading about those things being presented as new and exciting in 2026.

I had to dig around because I could not remember since when I take this stuff - putting as many toolbars as you'd like anywhere on multiple monitors you feel like as granted and yes, 14 years ago xfce 4.10 was released. Time flies, I guess.
