Spar Focused Task Bar

Spar Focused Task Bar

A replacement for default Windows shell task bar.

Main idea

Choose opened windows you want to have at the moment. No needs in searching for needed window in Alt+Tab, just add icon when you need it and remove when done.

This program was made originally from DeeShell by pravin

Features:

• You can close SparTask
• Add app
• Switch to app
• Rearrange icons positions (Shift + LMB)
• Remove app from SparTask (RMB)
• Close app (RMB)
• Kill app (RMB)
• Time and date
• Language indicator
• Minimize/Unminimize all
• If app was closed icon will be removed too

Problems:

• Some non-windowed apps can be in a list (idk how to get rid of them, why does Calculator run on my PC when I didn't open it)
• You won't see the icons from right side of legacy task bar (Wi-Fi icon, Notification panel, Calendar, Flash drive remove, etc)
• SparTask uses app's icons from their .exe. So Discord icon will not have any notification badges.
• Sometimes language indicator will show EN. That's because he is unable to get that info. (From cmd.exe for example)

Installation:

• Download from releases
• Run (administrator required)

Notes for manual builders:

• Made in VS 2019
• .NET 4
• My screen is 2560 in width so check width settings if you have something wrong
