It would be really great if you could do that, or create a version without tray icon, please.

I tried this tool, icons aren't centered. they move to right side of taskbar

If you restart explorer.exe, all the task bar icons will situate itself on the left according to Window's default behaviour. To fix this, you have to manually click the scan for screens button. This is fairly inconvenient when you are regularly restarting explorer.exe. Would it possible to automate this?

Describe the bug
It doesn't work on Windows11.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Upgrade to Windows11
2. Open the software.
3. And find it doesn't work.

Expected behavior
It works as it was on Windows 10.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11
• Version: latest

Additional context
I know that windows 11 has provided central taskbar.
But the start icon is also moved to the center, that's not good.

run the program, and nothing happen nothing changes, run as admin or not
v1.5, windows 10 20H2

The readme states "sleeps when no resizing taking place to 0% CPU usage". However, you will notice it working often in the background when no changes to the taskbar are taking place. If you run it in debugging mode you will see there are a high volume of "WindowClosedEvent" that aren't visible. I must assume that the OS generates these events for smaller "Window" objects that don't have a taskbar icon. I have attempted to find a better way of detecting Taskbar object close events and I have not yet been able to do so.

I did notice that listening to "WindowOpenedEvent" is superfluous. The BoundingRectangleProperty catches new Taskbar items just fine without it. It does not catch objects leaving the taskbar.

We either need to filter WindowClosedEvent to only generate for taskbar items or find a different event that doesn't false fire so often.

I seriously just can't find out which file I need to run because I've clicked on all of them, and they either open in vs code, notepad, or don't do anything.

Expected behavior
It would be easier to have a file that is clearly the executable.

Hi,
for some reason the animation is not so smooth on my Windows 10 PC when a new app is opened. Is this a graphic limitation?

What is the syntax of the command one needs to invoke to change the refresh-rate of the animation for example?

Describe the bug
Conflicts with application Snip & Sketch. Win+Shift+S not working.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start CenterTaskbar with windows
2. try Win+Shift+S.

Expected behavior
Snip & Sketch should working.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• Version 2004 19041.572

Can't say why, but this has stopped working altogether in the latest releases. Using Windows 10 Pro 1909 18363.836.

Anyway to give any additional info?

I tried to set the executible files as a start up file, but i have to wait 1 minute before the application starts.
Is possible to do something about? Maybe using the process of windows?

Now windows 11 only have 2 option to set the start menu and the icons in center or left.
I think it would be awesome it we set the start menu in left and the app icon in the center.
What do you think?

Thanks.

Windows button is not center along with the icons?

Windows button should go to center

Microsoft To-Do cannot be stared from taskbar while CenterTaskbar is running.

The taskbar sometimes doesn't move when new applications open and close. It doesn't just not work like in #8, but it's inconsistent.

I cannot consistently recreate the issue, but it's subtly jarring when it happens. I'll add more info as I have more time to work on it.

When you press either shift key, all taskbar icons forget their position and return to the far left of the taskbar for a brief moment. Is this possible to fix?

This is a great program, but I have difficulties running Visual Studio each time I need to launch this program, and it is kind of not easy and klunky (VS eats 500mb RAM). Can I run this beautiful piece of code as an exe file?

Describe the bug
Toolbars are not positioned correctly

HandyWinGet GUI lets you create a package for WinGet.

Program doesn't refresh after resolution changes forcing the user to do a manual scan of screen to re-center the icons.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start an application which adds an icon to the notification area (aka system tray), for example OBS Studio. The same happens if an app which has an icon in the notification area is closed.
2. All icons pinned to taskbar move to the left. Most of the time they move back to Windows' default position (next to the Start Menu button), sometimes they are out of center with an offset to the left.
3. A manual re-scan helps to center the icons.

Expected behavior
Optimal behavior: Application icons remain in center.
Minimum behavior: (Dis)appearing items in the notification area trigger a re-scan so that application icons re-center without any manual user action.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 Pro 20H2

how do i install it?

Describe the bug
Cannot center the taskbar on a new display in a multimonitor setup when running TranslucentTB

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Install TranslucentTB
(I am running it in Blur mode)
Plug in a second monitor, right click on tray icon, click scan for desktops. Icons do not center.

Icons are still perfectly centered on first (laptop) display.

Expected behavior
I expected the icons to center upon plugging in the new display, and especially upon clicking "scan for screens".

I don't expect compatibility as these are two different programs modifying the taskbar behaviour, but I would imagine that a fix may not be difficult. Having both programs running on my PC drastically improves the look and feel of Windows 10, and I would be ecstatic if a fix is possible.

The effect works if

1. Kill TranslucentTB
2. Click scan for desktop, other desktops will center
3. Start TranslucentTB.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Windows 10 20H1

Could you please add an option to center these buttons too?

Hi.
First of all — love this app! A must have for all ultrawide monitor owners.
Is there any way to set refresh rate without cmd so it stays after OS restart?

Is it possible to also center the windows icon and/or the date widget?
Then it would be very cool to also make the Taskbar transparent.

It doesnt work in the 2nd screen while the main screen is working great.
