Windows 7 Windows 7 panel request (the enginners of W7, Plz see this , thank you!)

[lancevance]

as we know, in w7, the control bar at the lowest part at the screen
and it's turn into a cube now, not like before, a retangular shape
if you want to change it into retangular shape, it still work,
but what i am thinking is, can the cube and retangular shape work together?
for example, i will open a software to monitor my pc (e.g: HWmonitor) and i will also open
a IE to surf the internet, as we know, the IE we will usually open and close it, but the monitoring software
will start up and work until shut down of our rig. so can enginners make us can decide which use cube form and
which use retangular shape
for example, monitor tool should appear in cube form and IE should apper in retangular form ,so we can spare more place
in our panel,
at last, I highly recommand this feature a avaible at the retail version of W7, thank you.(because i think this is very useful!)
THANK YOU!!!

It seems like you're interested in customizing the taskbar in Windows 7 to have some icons display as cubes and others in rectangular form. While Windows 7 doesn't inherently support having different shapes for icons on the taskbar, there are some ways you can achieve similar functionality using third-party tools or customization options. Here are some potential solutions to achieve the desired customization: 1. Third-Party Taskbar Customization Tools: There are third-party tools available that allow for extensive taskbar customization, such as Stardock's "ObjectDock" or "Fences." These tools provide advanced features to customize the taskbar appearance. 2. Taskbar Tweaker Applications: Tools like "7+ Taskbar Tweaker" offer additional taskbar customization options beyond what is available by default in Windows. 3. AutoHotkey Scripts: AutoHotkey can be used to create scripts that can manipulate the taskbar or perform specific actions based on window titles or other parameters. 4. Taskbar Organization: You can manually organize your taskbar by dragging and dropping icons to arrange them based on your preference. This won't change the shape of the icons but can help in organizing them as per your needs. Regarding incorporating this customization feature into a retail version of Windows 7, it would require Microsoft to implement this functionality in a future update or release. Your suggestion could potentially be considered for inclusion in future versions of Windows, but it's essential to share feedback directly with Microsoft through their official channels. While the specific customization you mentioned isn't natively supported in Windows 7, exploring the options suggested above may help achieve a similar visual effect and organizational structure for your taskbar icons.
