Taskbar
Your open windows and pinned apps. Tap to switch, hold for more.
A built-in Spacedash widget for your Windows 11 or 10 desktop, at any size next to your other widgets. It works on the XENEON EDGE too. It's part of Premium, a one-time $19.99 upgrade.
What you can set
- Show
- Both · Open apps · Pinned apps
- Both: pinned apps first, then every other app with a window open. Open apps: only apps with a window open. Pinned apps: only your pins.
- Start button
- The Windows logo first on the bar. It opens Start.
- Page buttons
- None · Arrows · Arrows and number
- Back and next at the end of the bar, for the pages of the layout on this screen. They go round from the last page to the first.
- Divider after the pinned apps
- None · Line · Gap · Dot
- Bar
- Fits the apps · Fills the tile · None
- Fits the apps: a bar just around the icons that grows as more open. Fills the tile: the whole tile is the bar. None: the icons float over the wallpaper.
- Grow past the tile
- As more apps open, the bar gets longer than the tile (up to the screen's edge) instead of shrinking its icons.
- Sits at
- Middle · Bottom · Top · Left · Right
- Where the bar sits in its tile. Left and Right stand it up as a column.
- Flush with that edge
- No gap and square corners on the side it sits against, like a bar docked to the screen.
- Curves into the edge
- Where the bar meets that edge, its sides curve out into it, as if the bar grew out of the screen. With a bar that fits the apps.
- Hide the bar
- Never · Slides away
- Slides away: the bar slides off past the edge it sits against while you are not using it, and slides back when the mouse reaches that edge of the screen (or you tap there). On a monitor, the place it leaves takes clicks through to what is underneath.
- Apps line up
- Start · Centre · End
- Icon size
- When more apps are open than fit, the icons get smaller to fit.
- App buttons
- None · Soft · Outline · Framed · Solid
- A tile behind each icon. Framed: a soft fill with a fine edge round it.
- Text on buttons
- Auto · Light · Dark · Custom
- Auto picks light or dark text from the colour, so it always reads.
- Icon colours
- Their own · Grey · One colour
- Under the mouse
- Nothing · Lift · Grow
- Mouse only: a touch never leaves an app raised.
- Preview on hover
- Rest the mouse on an open app to see its windows as they look now; click one to bring it to the front. Mouse only.
- Window count
- A small number on apps with more than one window open.
- Running indicators
- A mark by apps with a window open; a longer one by the app in front.
- Indicator
- Dot · Line · A dot a window
- App in front
- Its indicator and highlight. The accent unless you pick one.
- Closes by itself
- After a few seconds · As the mouse leaves · Never
- The menu and the window picker. A click anywhere else always closes them. After a few seconds: 8 s after your last touch, never while the mouse is over it.

Questions
Is the Spacedash Taskbar widget free?
No, Taskbar is a Premium widget. Spacedash itself is free; Premium is an optional one-time upgrade of $19.99, with no subscription, that adds Taskbar and the other Premium widgets.
Do I need a XENEON EDGE to use the Taskbar widget?
No. Spacedash runs on any monitor on Windows 10 or 11, and on the CORSAIR XENEON EDGE in Desktop Mode or, inside iCUE, in Widget Mode.
What can I change on the Taskbar widget?
38 options, such as show, apps, apps' own looks and leave out edgeos's own windows. They're grouped as apps, bar, icons, indicators and menu. Every widget also takes your own font, text size and look.
Can I move or hide parts of the Taskbar widget?
Yes. Its parts (icons, names, window count, menus and messages) can each be resized, restyled or hidden under Customize → Layout.
