Request: Vertical Taskbar Columns

Open SoraHjort opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

There is a feature of the Vertical Taskbar that existed from the early 9x days all the way to Vista, that was sadly killed off in 7. Columns for the Vertical Taskbar.

For you see, back in those days, if you filled up the taskbar with too many windows, it didn't create a scrollbar for you to see more of your windows. Instead it would split the width of the tasks in half and create a second Column. If I recall correctly, up slightly larger than the task's icon.

I would love if RetroBar recreated this behavior as an option. As it has been the biggest complaint I've had with the taskbar since 7.
