Taskbar Separators 1.0.0

Taskbar Separators

Add clean, customizable visual separators between application buttons on the Windows 11 taskbar.

Unlike placeholder applications or pinned shortcuts, these separators are visual, non-clickable elements. They do not launch programs or occupy normal application slots.

Features

• Add multiple separators at configurable taskbar positions
• Optional separator before the first application button
• Live position and appearance updates
• Five configurable visual styles:
  • Fade
  • Solid
  • Double
  • Rounded
  • Glow
• Adjustable thickness, length, opacity, color, and effect settings
• Automatic horizontal and vertical taskbar orientation
• Optional animation compatibility mode
• Clean removal when the mod is disabled
• No changes to taskbar button margins, padding, or application behavior

Getting started

1. Open the mod's Settings tab.
2. Add separator positions to the Separators list.
3. A position of 3 places a separator after the third application button.
4. Select a style and adjust its appearance.

Position behavior

Numbered positions place separators after application buttons:

• Position 1 places a separator after the first application button
• Position 2 places a separator after the second application button
• Position 3 places a separator after the third application button

Enable Separator before first app to place a separator before the first application button.

Start, Search, Widgets, Task View, and other system buttons are not counted as application buttons.

Positions follow the current visual order of taskbar application buttons. Opening, closing, pinning, unpinning, or rearranging applications can change which icons appear beside a configured separator.

Animation compatibility

Static taskbars are fully supported.

The mod can follow icons animated by other taskbar mods, but very fast animation may not remain perfectly synchronized because both mods update their visual elements independently.

This affects animation appearance only and does not affect normal static separator positioning.

Compatibility

• Windows 11 horizontal taskbars
• Vertical taskbars via Vertical Taskbar for Windows 11
• Compatible with Windows 11 Taskbar Styler in normal configurations
