The Windows taskbar is a useful tool that gives easy access to applications and settings and can be customised in several ways, including the number of items it can fit, its location on the screen and its design, according to Millennial Magazine.
In Windows 11 go to Settings, Personalisation, Taskbar and select Taskbar items to add features to the taskbar includingWidgets and Task View, which lets users see all open apps and switch between them easily.
Users can also make the taskbar display badges and flash to alert them to notifications and increase the bar’s height from its default size along the bottom of the screen.
Right-click on the taskbar to access its settings and make these customisations.
The taskbar can be made blurry or transparent, or it can adopt the Fluent design, using settings in Personalisation>Colors, according to Techaroni.
