In the OS X the top menubar is the place where are placed the notification icons like, date, battery and so on. It is not easy to have windows-like taskbar - here are several points:ġ.) The taskbar's notification area (commonly referred as systray). Therefore I tried answer with a setup, what should help switchers as much is possible.

At time of the question, was not here really usable software what behaves exactly as windows taskbar. EDIT after 1.5 years.īecause of commnents I want clarify some things. The above is my 2cents - maybe someone will suggest better setup - from my experience the above helps my "switchers friends" greatly. The bottom two corners (around the dock) are for the "applications" (Launch Pad & Dashboard), the upper two corners are for "windows" (Current app-windows and Mission control) The hot corners will help when you don't want use "swipes". In the "Mission control" uncheck "Show dashboard as space" - left-bottom corner will show to you the Dashboard when needed. (Because of "Mission control", "Application windows" and "Show desktop" swipes,)įour: Setup hot corners in the "System preferences -> Mission Control". This is very not-windows-like, but later will thanks to settle in with this.Īfter a while you will learn to use it automatically, and will find than you don't need a Taskbar. Take some time to learn 3-finger and 4-finger gestures, especially "swipe 4 finger up/down" and move drag with "3-fingers" (instead of click & drag).

Third: setup full trackpad gestures - click every checkbox on Trackpad preferences. Where you can clearly see than the "doc" file is minimized into the app-icon and the untitled is opened. The minimize-windows-into-application icon will partially simulate the Windows taskbar, so you will get:
Later you will set direct opposites, (automatic scroll bars, jump on the clicked spot) but for the switchers the above is good for a start. Go to System preferences (via the Apple icon in the menubar).
Philip, believe me, it is much better spending some time to learn (and settle in) with OS X style of work than looking some Windows taskbar solution.Īssuming that you have a new OS X notebook, you probably have multitouch trackpad too, so try the following:
