True Launch Bar 7.5

There isn't much you can do to customize the Windows 10 taskbar. That simple face hasn't changed since its first iteration, despite it being a key feature of the operating system and there being many user requests for improvement. Those who wanted to multitask as fast as possible were left hanging. The longer that went on for, the less patient the users got. Now, some of them have finally gotten tired of waiting and created their own tool - the True Launch Bar.

The True Launch Bar isn't free, but it can be tested for 30 days. The installation process is simple, but there is one screen that many users will probably miss if they were clicking through it as fast as possible. There's a window that shows you how to boot the program up - you'll have to click on an empty space in the toolbar and hover over the "toolbars" submenu. It's difficult to find out on your own, so make sure to pay attention. Once you've opened it, you'll notice an extra spot on your toolbar with the giant words DEMO pasted over it if you haven't bought it.

The program isn't complex, but it is deep. You can easily drag and drop app icons onto the menu to instantly create shortcuts, and you can sort them using separators. It can also have unique settings for the mouse, so you can set it to automatically pop up the menu and submenu when you hover over it without having to click, as well as run shortcuts and auto close menus on mouse over. You can also set delay times so the slightest brush won't launch a program a hundred times. You can also set hotkeys to any shortcut on the menu.

On top of that, there are numerous plugins online for enhancing its functionality even further. All in all, True Launch Bar is an easy recommendation.
