- Short: Win95 style taskbar v6 (Now with prefs editor)
- Author: Robert Ennals
- Uploader: ennals@aol.com
- Type: util/wb
- Replaces: taskbar5_3.lha
-
- Amiga TaskBar - Version 6
-
-
- What is it?
- ***********
-
- Just like the much praised Windows 95 taskbar, but for Workbench
- Simply click on buttons to maximise, bring to front or panel
- any workbench windows. This is not just a program launcher, it is
- a complete window manager!!
-
- This is an essential addition to everybodies WBStartup Drawer and
- it isn't going to waste disk space.
-
-
- Since TaskBar v1 was released some other similar programs have
- appeared, but none come close to the power or stability of TaskBar.
-
-
-
- >> If you have used a previous version (eg v5.2 that was released with
- Amiga Computing) then read the changes section.
-
- >> If you are new to TaskBar then go straight to the features section.
