About Taskbar Tweaker
7+ Taskbar Tweaker is a Windows utility that lets users configure aspects of the Windows taskbar that cannot be changed through the taskbar properties or the registry. The homepage states that it is designed for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. Stable and beta installers are offered, and the installer can be used to extract a portable version.
The tool does not support the Windows 11 taskbar, and the publisher states that it probably never will. It works on Windows 11 version 23H2 and older only when the older taskbar is restored using third-party tools. Some tweaks are available on Windows 11 as Windhawk mods. The publisher says the tweaker injects a DLL into Explorer, and that its antivirus detections are false positives.
