Windows Taskbar Thumbnail Customizer

When hovering over a taskbar item with the mouse cursor, Windows displays a small preview of the window. While this thumbnail can be customized without the help of third-party software, this operation involves modifying the Registry, which is something most novices are not comfortable with.

Windows Taskbar Thumbnail Customizer makes the task a lot simpler, as it enables you to change various properties from a straightforward, intuitive program window.

Changing the appearance of the taskbar thumbnails is far from complex, as you only need to change various values related to their dimensions, spacing, margins and timing. It might have helped if some explanations were included for each value, but users should get the hang of things quickly enough.

There is no need to worry about forgetting the original values and ending up with strange-looking thumbnails, as the application allows you to restore them to their default state at any time.

The application allows you to modify the minimum and maximum size of the thumbnails, as well as their spacing and the dimensions of the top, bottom, right and left margins.

It is possible to specify how long the cursor should hover over an item for the thumbnail to be displayed.

You have the option of disabling the live previews that are shown when hovering over the generated thumbnails.

Windows Taskbar Thumbnail Customizer consists of a single executable file that can be launched from any location, even portable storage devices.

The application does not store any additional data on your machine, so you can be certain no traces are left behind when deleting the software.

Overall, Windows Taskbar Thumbnail Customizer is a simple, no-frills utility that can help you customize the appearance and behavior of the Windows taskbar thumbnails. It is fairly easy to use, lightweight and fully portable.
