As we all know Windows 7 comes with new Superbar which is a redesigned form of the old Taskbar. The main features of this new Superbar are as follows:
- A little increased height for better view and usablity
- Iconized Taskbar buttons to save space
- Live Taskbar thumbnails for easier navigation
There are many other small features in the new Superbar which make it far better than the old Taskbar.
Now if you are not using Windows 7 but like the Superbar look, you can get it in your Windows XP or Vista.
"SBar" is a Taskbar replacement for Windows XP and Vista which brings the same Superbar functionality. Thanks to "DimitarCC" for creating this nice application.
As you can see in the above screenshot which was taken from Windows XP but looks almost same as Windows 7.

Didn't seem to work in my XP Pro Service Pack 3.
I'll just stick with ViGlance ;)
Kevin
Wait, I just read a comment that said you require .NET Framework 3.5?
When I try to install it, it stops halfway through and comes up with that "Send error report" stuff.
VG, can you tell me what I need to do to allow .NET Framework 3.5 to install please? Thanks :)
VG
^^ No idea but you can try to run the setup as Administrator.
Kevin
Well I'm trying to install it through windows update. Do I run windows update as an administrator? Is it the same as an administrator account as opposed to a limited account? Which administrator is it?
Thanks again :)
