Task bar - Top, Bottom, Auto hide -- preferences

[jimbo45]

Just a curious question

What do most people set their taskbar in W7 -- Bottom, Top, LHS, RHS, autohide etc.

Totally useless info but just curious.

I have mine at the TOP and on Autohide.

Cheers

Bottom...default / small icons, non-hidden. I just can't get used to it anywhere else.

Left hand side, visible, and with the blank toolbar trick to centre the icons.

Bottom, no hide and large icons. Like Aaron, I can't get used to it anywhere else.

Left side
Auto-hide
big icone

As I have 2 monitor with main monitor on the left, I use in addition Objectdock on the left side of the second monitor (so in the middle of the desktop )

I try several config in case of I felle better, but I allways come back to the left sided taskbar

Aaron, the bottom does look great and has a nice feel to it....

bottom small icons
I tried auto hide but it got annoying to have to move the mouse to the bottom of the screen to see the time.

I guess I am just old fashioned, but I'm a bottoms man, too! :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

On my netbook, it's on the right side of the screen because I can use all the vertical pixels I can get. (1024x600) Being a touchscreen It's also easier to acess from the right and switch programs.

On my desktop, I did have it on the bottom set to autohide. I just recenly threw it on the right side with no autohide, and I think it's tons better now. I dont need to autohide, because I rarely have windows maximized (1920x1080)

With the square textless task items in windows 7 having the taskbar on the right side is actually useful now, not like before with the long rectangles.

After installing RC I began to try a new way:

Dual-monitor, primary monitor on the left
Taskbar on the right, no autohide, big icon, no objectdock.

I think I will stay like this.
Just have to change my habits of searching start menu on the upper left corner

I'd love to be able to put the taskbar on the second monitor - left side (without put the right monitor as primary).
Shame that MS not support multimonitor more than the basics

Same here. Bottom, small icons on both the taskbar and start menu. Since I use the system time whenever my notebook is near, I have to have it showing all the time.

That said, I'm starting to experiment with having the taskbar at the top.
