Editor's Notes
- #34: The Windows® 7 Taskbar include some features that you might want to consider using in your next Application: Overlay Icons Jump Lists Thumbnail Toolbars Custom Thumbnail Tabbed ThumbnailThe key takeout from this short discussion — even if you don’t want to use the advanced features — make sure you have a great taskbar icon (at all kinds of DPI levels) and forget about Quick Launch and the system notification area (“tray”) because no one is going to look there for your App. Use taskbar buttons and the wealth of UI paradigms such as thumbnail Toolbars, Jump Lists etc. instead.
