I have been using windows 7 RC for awhile now and I really enjoy Super Bar's simplicity, convenience, and beauty. Well except the system tray and notifications. I really love the task handling, the launcher, the window peek, and the show desktop features. They make Super Bar look really neat. I know there's Stasks for this but it's development has stopped for awhile now and it lacks other features Super Bar has.

I don't know why the title and the message of my post have been edited. Anyway, my idea isn't just for the task manager but also for the launcher feature/functionality. Yeah the launcher could be integrated to the task manager since it would become a task itself once it is launched, but it's worth mentioning to make things clear. And this is not to replace the default implementation, but as an option only.

Your post was probably edited to add a tag.

Try Stasks.

frustphil said that stasks does not have all the features he/she wants.

Assembling Tray and Icons(shortcuts) on panels are very early plasma idea. I don't know why people just forget about it. I must found it on kde-looks.org's braintorm.

I think new panel in Windows 7 is provided, because Xandros was bought Linspire. Xandros have trade with Microsoft about collaborate.

It's a example of great idea:

I like it! It would be even more advanced that on Windows 7...

But also Stasks isnt abandoned. Exams season in Poland (and i think that Stasks developer is Pole) ends in june, so propably development will be resumed in near future.

Since a lot of people are not windows beta testers and may not follow the latest windows developments, it might be worthwhile if the OP explained exactly what he/she likes about the super bar and what ways current implementations are insufficient.

I had posted a similar thread requesting square task icons when the taskbar is vertical (larger icons with no text) : bigger-icons-for-p ... 38966.html

this (already posted) mokup is phantastic... it could be an alternative taskmanager.. a new plasmoid.. (like classic kde menu or kickoff)

i really hope someone will write this stuff.. i am sure it would enforce itself in a week

Someone is working on this now. The project is called Kustodian
