First public release.

A Windows-style taskbar that replaces the Dock, in Windows 10, Windows Vista and Windows XP themes.

  • Start menu: installed apps, type to search, pinned apps; XP and Vista have the classic two-column menu with All Programs
  • Taskbar buttons: launch, bring to front, hide the active app; drag to reorder, including pinned apps
  • Combine buttons always / when the taskbar is full / never, with a labeled button per window
  • Keyboard layout indicator, clock with a calendar flyout, show desktop strip
  • Taskbar settings: theme, scale (70–200 %), auto-hide, small buttons, multiple displays and more
  • Hides the Dock and stays still when switching desktops, like the Dock

Install: download wtaskbar-0.7.dmg, open it and drag WTaskbar to Applications. The app is not notarized, so on first launch go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway, or run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/WTaskbar.app

For per-window buttons and the window list, allow WTaskbar in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility (Taskbar settings → Allow…).

Requires macOS 13 or later.
