Suggested Windows settings

  • Left-aligned taskbar.
  • Combine taskbar buttons set to "When taskbar is full".
  • Dark wallpaper with matching accent color.

Modifications

Adjust Running Apps Button Width - If the text of an app's button is very long, it can result in an unnecessarily wide button:
Wide button

To remedy this behavior:

  • Adjust the MaxWidth value to restrict the button's width to a preferred maximum value
  • Remove MaxWidth to use Windows' default behavior
  • Remove MaxWidth and set Width to set an identical static width to every running app

Theme selection

The theme is integrated into the mod, and can be simply selected from the mod's settings:

  • Open the Windows 11 Taskbar Styler mod in Windhawk.
  • Go to the "Settings" tab.
  • Select the theme and save the settings.

Manual installation

The theme styles can also be imported manually. To do that, follow these steps:

  • Open the Windows 11 Taskbar Styler mod in Windhawk.
  • Go to the "Advanced" tab.
  • Copy the content below to the text box under "Mod settings" and click "Save".
