New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 4.0.7 (Sep 3, 2012)

  • 7+ Taskbar Tweaker (previously known as 7 Taskbar Tweaker) now officially supports Windows 8!
  • In addition to the new name and the Windows 8 support, several small bugs were fixed, and general stability was improved, so it’s a recommended update even for Windows 7.

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 4.0.4 (Sep 1, 2012)

  • Improved the decombine-on-mouse-hover option, which also fixes a potential crash.
  • Fix: It's now possible to interact with the tray icon when update notification balloon is visible.
  • Language update: Slovenian.

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 4.0.2 (Aug 20, 2012)

  • Fixed a crash when using the "When not grouping, place new items next to the existing ones" option (this time, hopefully, for real).

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 4.0.1 (Aug 20, 2012)

  • Made the "Double/Middle click on empty space" -> "Ctrl+Alt+Tab" work as expected on Windows 7.
  • Added the option "Double/Middle click on empty space" -> "Ctrl+Win+Tab" for Windows 7. If aero is off or the tweaker runs on Windows 8, the option works like "Ctrl+Alt+Tab".
  • Fixed a crash when using the "When not grouping, place new items next to the existing ones" option.

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 4.0.0 (Aug 13, 2012)

  • In addition to the new name and the Windows 8 support, several small bugs were fixed, and general stability was improved

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 3.4 (Feb 27, 2012)

  • Option: Thumbnails reordering by mouse dragging.
  • Option: Left click on combined item -> Open last window if inactive, otherwise open thumbnail preview.
  • Option: Toggle mute system volume on empty space dobule/middle click.
  • Update checker.

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 3.3.1 (Jan 16, 2012)

  • Option: Left click on the active thumbnail minimizes the window. Windows 7′s taskbar provides no easy way to minimize a window in a combined item. The whell scroll options help here, but when a mouse wheel is not available (e.g. a laptop), they don’t help much. The new option provides a way to minimize the active window by clicking on it’s thumbnail.
  • Fix: Multiple thumbnails now show up when grouping is disabled. This bug existed since the first version of the tweaker. When grouping was disabled programs which used to show multiple thmubnails for a single window (like IE and it’s thumbnails for tabs) showed only one thumbnail.
  • Italian language.

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 3.2.1 (Dec 19, 2011)

  • New in this version:
  • When volume is muted, the volume control does not show up with mouse scroll.
  • If mouse scroll volume control is on, middle clicking the volume control tray icon toggles volume mute.
  • Fixed the autorun setting of the portable version.

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 3.1 (Nov 14, 2011)

  • More taskbar item hover options. Now you can choose to show a list instead of the thumbnail preview (see screenshot below), show a tooltip (shows only if the title doesn’t fit), or show nothing at all.
  • More combining options. You can choose to combine (or not) your taskbar items. This, e.g., is how the taskbar looks with the “Always combine, hide labels” taskbar option and the “Don’t combine grouped items” tweaker option
  • New option: Reserve empty space on taskbar. The tweaker has options for middle/double clicking the taskbar’s empty space. It works great except when the taskbar gets full. This option reserves a little square at the end of the task list, where you can always double/middle click.
  • New option: Hide the “Show desktop” button. This option was requested several times, so here you go.
  • Small fixes. The most notable of which is that the thumbnail preview does not get closed when you minimize with the mouse wheel.

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 3.0 (Oct 25, 2011)

  • Mouse wheel options:
  • You can scroll between taskbar items with the mouse wheel, as well as minimize/restore a window when hovering a taskbar item or a thumbnail.
  • Decombining the active group:
  • This option will keep the currently active group decombined, similarly to the “decombine on mouse hover” feature.
  • New interface logic:
  • The options are now divided into three categories: Taskbar items, Grouping and combining, and Other, which will make it easier for you to navigate through them, and will make it easier for me to add new options. Special thanks to Arcyon for giving me some tips about the interface.
  • Improved stability:
  • The previous versions had some flaws regarding thread safety. This could rarely lead to a crash, a Taskbar Inspector window that does not close, or some other issue. The new version fixes these.

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 2.1 (Jun 15, 2011)

  • Supports multiple languages.
  • A several-times-requested feature to open pinned items with double click to avoid accidental clicking.
  • The tweaker is now compatible with Dexpot‘s SevenDex feature. Note that if you use the Don’t group tweaker option, force SevenDex’s Application ID to group for the thumbnails to show up correctly.
  • The installer works on Windows Server 2008 R2.

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 2.0 (Apr 19, 2011)

  • Now you don’t have to open Taskbar Inspector to Group your taskbar items the way you want to. The new drag-within-groups option enables you to do it using the right mouse button!
  • You can catch any taskbar button with the right mouse button and drag it to another button to group them together!
  • You can drag it away of the taskbar buttons to create a new group.
  • Note: if you have grouping disabled, you won’t be able to group buttons with default Application IDs, but you can drag it away to create a new random_group_x which is always groupable.
  • There’s a bonus coming with that feature: you can scroll your mouse wheel while holding the right mouse button to show/hide labels of the group under the mouse.
  • Also, starting from this version, the tweaker is distributed within a setup package (a good reason to label it v2.0).
  • The setup does not requires admin privileges and does not leave traces on uninstall (unless you choose to keep the settings).
  • Also, it automatically detects whether you’re running the 64-bit version of Windows and installs the appropriate tweaker version

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 1.8 (Feb 21, 2011)

  • The decombine-on-hover feature introduced in v1.7 can also show labels when decombining.
  • Taskbar Inspector can now be opened by left clicking the tray icon.
  • The Left click on grouped item function is back. Although the tweak can be enabled through the registry, people wanted it back in 7TT, so here it is.

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 1.7 (Feb 21, 2011)

  • Adds decombine on hover.
  • Together with whatever-you-want grouping introduced with v1.6, it becomes a really handy feature.
  • Among other new features: Make pinned items smaller.
  • Also removed the cycle through windows option on left click on grouped button, as it appears there’s a registry option for that

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 1.6 (Feb 21, 2011)

  • Ever thought that the idea of taskbar items grouping is good, except that Windows does not group the correct items? 7 Taskbar Tweaker v1.6 is here to the rescue!
  • Windows 7 groups taskbar items by Application ID. 7 Taskbar Tweaker now allows you to change it in order to group any items you want. You can change a window’s Application ID to any of the existing, or to a randomly generated “random_group_3735928559″, which is always grouped, even when grouping is disabled.
  • Among other new features, you can choose which Application IDs should have label, and which should not (Just like Firefox’s faviconize). Also you can cascade/tile multiple windows.

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 1.5.1 (Feb 21, 2011)

  • Reorder works with drag’n'drop

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 1.5 (Feb 21, 2011)

  • The most interesting update is the Taskbar Inspector. It’s basically a list of your taskbar items, and it allows you to do the following:
  • Reorder items within a group
  • Per Application ID grouping options
  • Multiple window closing
  • As of other new features, you can minimize taskbar items on middle click, you can choose to show desktop or open the Alt+Tab window (Ctrl+Alt+Tab) by double or middle clicking the empty space on the taskbar, and the grouping options now change in realtime – you don’t have to reopen the windows anymore

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 1.1.1 (Apr 2, 2010)

  • Fixes the Trillian issue.

New in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker 1.1 (Apr 2, 2010)

  • Added a new option: cycle through windows of a grouped button on left click instead of showing a thumbnails preview.
  • The 64-bit version of the tweaker did not unload correctly.
