Docking mode in Taskbar

Open Wavesolid opened this issue 3 years ago • 8 comments

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Was expecting to set my Taskbar into Dock and eliminate the empty space for displaying apps screen.

Scenario when this would be used?

Maybe this can be applied to any programmer who want to have wider screen size

when you say docking, what do you mean?

Do you want it to be hidden? /needinfo

Have you ever seen the taskbar in Mac? That's what I called a dock in this context

So is the ask for a transparent taskbar? Or the taskbar to auto hide? /needinfo

I give the example below, this can be achieved when I'm using 3rd party apps to let my taskbar into docking mode. So, I would say like remove Widget bar, System tray menu, and eliminate empty space in between widget to center also between system tray to center. image

It's kinda different from floating toolbar as I know. It's not floating and dragable, It sticking in one place like current Windows taskbar has. The only different is, remove side menu in the taskbar, such as (widget menu, system tray)

@Jay-o-Way Please kindly to check this picture, as you can see the Taskbar is only exist in the center, there is no unused white bar in the right and left screen
