A tool to customize taskbar appearance
RoundedTB, developed by indie creator Erisa A, is a utility tool that provides precise control over the taskbar’s appearance by allowing users to adjust margins on all sides and customize the corner radius for a tailored interface design. Additionally, features like Dynamic Mode separates program shortcuts and the system tray into individual docks, expanding the tool’s functionality.
RoundedTB delivers fine-grained control over the taskbar layout by letting users set independent margins on the top, bottom, left, and right sides. This flexibility helps users position their taskbar precisely to fit their personal workflow or screen setup. The corner radius slider adds an additional aesthetic layer, allowing taskbar corners to appear either more rounded or sharper based on user preference.
Precise customization for a cleaner desktop
The Dynamic Mode stands out by dividing program shortcuts and the system tray into two distinct docks, improving visual separation and user organization. It includes advanced controls such as independent margin adjustment for each dock and the ability to show or hide the system tray. The Split Mode replicates the separate dock effect, maintaining compatibility across OS versions. RoundedTB also integrates smoothly with TranslucentTB, extending customization with enhanced visual effects by addressing different aspects of taskbar visuals.
Simplified configuration and enhanced taskbar functionality
RoundedTB features an interface that facilitates configuration of margin values, corner adjustments, and mode selection. Its design makes the program accessible for users new to taskbar customization, reducing the learning curve. Its intuitive interface is centered around accessing the settings through the System Tray Icon. Other features are overflow detection, where the taskbar disables when it runs out of space, and the taskbar icon and appearance update when the system theme dynamically changes.
Both installable and portable versions are available, providing convenience for those who want to use the tool across multiple devices without extensive setup. However, a limitation is the tool’s inconsistent auto-hide feature, where there are instances that it fails to automatically hide when a game or full-screen application is launched, resulting in manual disabling.
Taskbar customization for a tailored interface design
RoundedTB provides detailed customization through margin controls and corner radius adjustments combined with distinct docking modes for enhanced taskbar organization. Though the Dynamic Mode displays inconsistent auto-hide behavior and occasional visual glitches, its support for Split Mode and integration with TranslucentTB add further value. Overall, this tool is a functional option for taskbar personalization.
