The "Computer" taskbar's context menu is missing the "Delete Taskbar" entry.
Ok, got it; you cannot delete the default taskbar with controls.

How can I add a link to the on-screen keyboard? I created a link to the file location (C:\Windows\system32\osk.exe), but it doesn't open.

Is website link creation via drag and drop not available?

Interface customization settings would be helpful for TB+'s appearance or personalization.

That is funny that you mentioned that. I have been coughing and sneezing really bad for over a month, constantly. But it was not bad enough to go to the doctor.
If you wait too long, can be much harder to fix. please see your local friendly competent family MD, we reply on you! ;)

In the latest version, you can actually delete the top / default taskbar with controls, then the next one down will take over as default. The only limitation now is that the user cannot delete the last taskbar ;).

The osk.exe and website links should be working now, thank you for finding these issues. If there are other web extensions besides .url and .html, please let me know and I will make sure those are working as well.

I am not sure what you mean by "Interface customization settings would be helpful for TB+'s appearance or personalization." Please let me know, thank you!

Yeah, that was the thing was that they did not discover TB in my area until I had already been coughing and sneezing for 3-4 weeks. I am essentially 100% now... but if I would have known at the time, I certainly would have went to the doc. It is kinda like when I take my dog to the vet... I don't want to take her for every little bump and bruise, but I also want to make sure she goes when she needs to... a lot of times it is a tough call.

You cannot create a link for websites by dragging and dropping.

TB+ should have an "all taskbars" color option.

TB+ expands on clicking a taskbar. It should similarly collapse only on clicking a taskbar; you can access multiple links and collapse TB+ after using it.

The website links are working for .url and .html files... you must be using a file with a different extension. If so, what is the extension? If it is a .url or .html file, how did you create the shortcut? That way I can reproduce the error.

Yes, we will add Color All to the Taskbars menu soon.

Yes, but we will want to make this optional, mainly because I have noticed that it is pretty uncommon for me to use TB+ for several things at once... but it would be super convenient for it to be able to handle more than on action without minimizing when we need it to. Otherwise, if most users mainly use TB+ for single actions, then we want to keep it the way it is, that way we can optimize the number of clicks. In other words... yes, lets figure out how to optimize the number of clicks the best we can ;). Thank you!

Can't you simply drag and drop the link from the browser address bar?

Yes, optional is fine.

I simply meant that essential functions should be in the right-click menu, while appearance customizations could be in settings.

Hey Guys!

Here is TB+ 0.53, it should be pretty much bug free and at this point we can start deciding what new features to add over the next few months. We don't want to add tons of useless features that no one will use, but we do want to add cool, unique features that useful.

In the 0.53 version, I replaced the Color All with a prompt and applied it to both the taskbar and taskbar label color... that was we do not need to always have a Color All right click context menu item that most users will never use, and if they do use, only use once or twice.

I also optimized the left click on taskbars for both pinned and not-pinned status. The current implementation makes perfect sense to me, and we were able to implement this without adding an extra option, so I think we are good to go, but if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

And as usual, there were several minor fixes and optimizations.

TaskbarPlus 0.53
