The first applications [edit]
Windows 1.0 [edit]
Windows 1.0, which was released in 1985, features a horizontal bar at the bottom of the screen where you are staying in progress when minimized programs (called "iconización" at the time), represented by icons. Window can be minimized by double-clicking on the title bar, drag an empty spot of the bar, or by an order from one of those lists. It is restored minimized window by double-clicking its icon or drag bar code.
Bar him several locations for icons and extends vertically to provide several lines and there is a need to further openings. Color is the same as the bottom of the screen, which can be customized. Minimized windows can be placed freely in the empty slots. Windows program can not interfere least bar speaker.

Arthur [edit]
And can be seen again in the rapid implementation Arthur Acorn OS computers. The so-called toolbar [1], and is still a key element for the success of Arthur RISC OS. Tools icons that represent bar mounted disk drives and RAM contain, run applications, and system utilities. These icons are context sensitive and drag and drop support proper behavior menus.

Friend [edit]
The Amiga or several applications feed a third party to the concept of the task bar, and this heritage is also present in his successors. For example, AmiDock, born as third-party utility then been integrated into AmigaOS 3.9 and AmigaOS 4.0. [2] operating system AROS has its version of AmiStart that comes with the operating system and free for users to install, while the MorphOS is equipped with a dock tool that AmigaOS operating system, Mac OS X.
Microsoft Windows [edit]
The default setting of the taskbar in Microsoft Windows are placed at the bottom of the screen and includes the right button and the left of the Start menu, Quick Launch bar, toolbar and tasks of the notification area buttons. Added a quick launch tool to update Windows desktop was not enabled by default in Windows XP operating system. Windows 7 eliminates Quick Launch function for applications to bar same tasks. Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, and this point in the lower left corner of the login screen replaces the Start button, albeit reflect this change in the operating system Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
Taskbar was originally developed as a feature of Windows 95, but is based on the user interface similar function has been called a box development in Cairo Microsoft. [3] [4] [5]
With the launch of Windows XP, and Microsoft taskbar to take advantage of the law Fitz "Remove the surrounding pixels border on the Start menu button does not activate behavior, which allows the list to be activated by clicking directly in the corner of the screen has changed. [6]
Taskbar in the application names to hide Windows 7 for large codes that can be "suspended" to the taskbar, even when they are not running. Unlike Windows Vista and the Windows XP media, users have the ability to view all of your notifications or get a small pop-up window, which displays notifications to the user without expansion.

Taskbar elements [edit]
Start button, activate the Start menu button. It appears in the Windows 9x, Windows NT 4.0 and all his successors, except for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.
Quick Launch bar, and display in Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 to Windows Update Internet Explorer surface Office 4 and is supplied with Windows 98, and contains shortcuts to applications. Windows provides default entries, such as the launch of Internet Explorer, and the user can or third-party software add additional shortcuts to choose from. One-click on the application icon in this area launches the application. This section can not be always present: for example, it turns into default in Windows XP operating system and Windows 7.
Windows Shell puts a button on the taskbar on the taskbar when the application creates a window without the owner; that is, a framework that does not have a father, which was created following the instructions normal Windows user interface. Usually all applications interface with a single button on the taskbar for each open document window, even though the conditional tires may also appear there.
Update for Windows 98 and Windows desktop for Windows 95 offers the possibility of reducing the front frame by clicking on its button on the taskbar.
Display windows 2000 balloon notifications.
Windows, and added option to disable the move or resize the taskbar.
Currently Windows XP task to assemble a group of a button bar can be buttons on the tasks and multiple windows of the same application bar. This button displays a list of all the windows grouped when clicked. This keeps the taskbar from being cramped when you open multiple windows simultaneously.
Windows Vista prior offers of windows that display thumbnails for direct application. This ability was provided by the director of the desktop window. Hint main menu no longer says "Click to start". Now, simply said, "Home."
Windows 7 offers Jumplists are lists that shortcuts provide recently opened documents documents that were opened more often, and tracks folder (if Windows Explorer), or more options (called tasks) applies to this specific program or shortcut Site nailed. Jump Lists appear when the user clicks on the icon on the taskbar or drag the icon with the left mouse button. Recent files and folders can be repeated and put it in the list of transition.
Windows 7 offers the ability to pin applications to the tasks to launch toolbar buttons to show when not working. Previously, Quick Launch has been used to pin applications to the taskbar. However, a separate drivers have emerged as a button.
Windows 7 eliminates many of the classic features the taskbar.
Deskbands functional programs are minimized in the long term, such as Windows Media Player. Programs that reduce deskbands are not displayed in the taskbar. [7]
Notification area is part of the taskbar that displays icons for the programs and functions of the system that are not present on the desktop as well as the time and the symbol of the volume. Basically, it contains icons that display status information, despite the fact that some programs such as Winamp program, and the use of minimized windows. By default, this is at the bottom right of the main screen (or the bottom of the left in the right languages that Windows operating system used in the left-hand reading) or at the bottom of the taskbar if docked vertically. Appear on the clock here, and applications can put icons in the system tray to indicate the status of the treatment or to inform the user of the event. For example, an application can put the printer icon in the status area to show that a print job in progress, or the application can control provides quick access to different screen display resolution. The notification area, as is well known from the system tray, which Microsoft is saying false, [8] [9] Although the term is sometimes used in the documents of Microsoft, [10] [11] [12] materials [13] Description program, [14 and even Microsoft Office applications such as Ping. Raymond Chen suggests confused with the original systray.exe, a small application, which controls some of the icons in the notification area Windows 95. [5] It is also known that as the status area notification area by Microsoft. [15] [16] [17]
In previous versions of Windows on the icons in the notification area is limited to 16 colors. I add support for Windows high color icons in the notification area.
In Windows XP operating system, the user can choose to show or hide some icons always, or hide when inactive for a period of time. There is a button that allows the user to highlight all the icons.
Starting from Windows Vista, and divided the taskbar notification area in two areas; one reserved for the symbols of the regime, including a clock, volume, network, and power. The other is for applications.
Because the Windows desktop upgrade 95 Quick Launch Show Desktop one of their default shortcuts appear, and reduce all open applications automatically. In Windows 7, they are placed button Office show right is enshrined in the notification area. With "peek" Enable hovering over the button to hide all open windows to view the desktop (features, leaving them on the screen).
Allocation [edit]
You can change the Windows taskbar by users in several ways. The position of the taskbar can be modified to appear on any edge of the main screen. Up to and including Windows Server 2008, the taskbar is limited to one offer, despite the fact that third-party utilities such as UltraMon allows multiple screens stretching. When viewing the taskbar vertically in earlier versions of Windows to Windows Vista, the Start menu button displays the equivalent text "home" or translated if a wide enough tasks to display the text a full bar. [18] However, on the edge of the taskbar (in all positions) can be withdrawn to control the height (vertical width of the functions); and this is particularly useful for the region vertical to view the address in the next window for the symbols of the window.
Users can change the size of the height (or width when it is displayed vertically) on the taskbar to the middle of the display area. To avoid changing the size or re-inadverdent Windows XP taskbar, then the taskbar by default lock. [19] [20] When the non-insured, are "grab" displayed next to the moving parts that allow the seizure of the mouse to move and size. The amount of these handles slightly smaller than the available space on the taskbar.
Taskbar as a whole may be hidden until the mouse is moved to the edge of the screen, or the keyboard focus. Windows 7 taskbar + does not allow comment on any arbitrary folder taskbar, which was established for Jumplist group of Explorer shortcuts, however, and third-party utilities such as Winaero Penner taskbar and can be used to assign a shortcut taskbar. [21]
Toolbars Office [edit]
Other toolbars, called "Deskbands" can be added to the taskbar. [22] includes the Windows operating system in the following deskbands but does not appear by default (unless the Quick Launch bar in some versions and configurations).
Address. It has a similar bar to that found in the trends of Internet Explorer. (Not available in Windows XP, SP3, because of legal restrictions).
Windows Media Player. It may seem to a minimum and Windows Media Player.
Links. Shortcuts for items in links from the user folder. Usually, direct access to sites on the Internet.
Tablet PC Input Panel. It contains the button to display the Tablet PC Input Panel for the ink to enter text.
Office. It contains shortcuts to the elements contained in the surface of the access to the user's desktop. Since still be taskbar display, it provides easy access to the items on the desktop without minimizing applications.
Fast food. It contains shortcuts to Internet Explorer, e-mail applications and link to view the desktop. Windows Vista adds a link to the 3D function face.
Language. It contains shortcuts to quickly change the keyboard wanted to follow language.
Deskbands addition, Supports Windows "desktop application tools Toolbars" (also called "appbands") to support the establishment of additional tools that can be docked on any side of the screen videos, and can not be covered by other applications that. [23]
Users can add additional items that display the contents of folders tapes. Showing tools that represent items in the folder tapes (such as links, desktop and quick operation) and can be adjusted to display large icons and text of each article. Before Windows Vista, ribbons stationery can be pulled on the taskbar and independent floating or anchored to the edge of the screen. Offline Windows Vista limits to a large extent, but does not eliminate the possibility Office toolbar to the taskbar [24] Windows 7 has criticized the use of floating full Deskbands :. Just put the show in the taskbar.
When you open the Windows taskbar properties in Windows 95 and 98 while holding down the CTRL key in, an additional tab options in the office bar is shown, but no party can be used. The completion option feature was never included in these versions of Windows. [25]
Mac OS [edit]
Mac OS Classic taskbar on the screen by default does not display. Out earlier in the shift to the operating system Mac OS 8.5 is done by clicking on the application window or through drop-down menus on the far right of the menu bar. Before version 8.5 was based on the title of the application icon in the foreground. Version 8.5 also offers the ability to view the ultimate name of the application and the "beginning" in the title of the menu by dragging with the mouse. The list is torn as display panel. You can be configured plate frame using AppleScript to appear very similar to the toolbar, no address bar and attached to the edge of the screen. Any Control Panel did not respond by Apple to gain access to this feature, but third-party developers wrote applications that quickly lets users were not familiar with AppleScript to customize the plates of your application. The third-party tools tapes, such as DragThing category shareware popular in these systems.
Sidewalk, as contained in its report designed OS X and advances, is also a kind of the taskbar. It is directed dock OS X rather than application-oriented window. Each is represented by a running application icon in the dock regardless of how many windows you have on the screen. You can open the text menu by right-clicking on the dock that provides access to the Windows application icon. Mac OS X 10.2 adds the ability to apply to add items to this list. Minimized windows also appear in the dock, in the left pane, represented in miniature real-time graphical content window. The trash also in the dock, a global metaphor for disposal. For example, drag it to the trash can to delete the selected text must create a text document and press materials in the trash.
The right side of the menu bar Mac OS X also usually contain several quick access menu additions are called widgets and functions of the media.

Instead, Ubar is the application of a third party to implement the taskbar along the lines of Windows to OS X. [26]
Android OS [edit]
The taskbar is two-thirds of the robot taskbar for the implementation of the Android operating system. [27]
Unix operating systems such as [edit]
KDE [edit]
K Desktop Environment and 3 above, the kicker program taskbar, showing the rectangular panels can contain applications, one of them running tasks bar. Applications can arbitrarily transfer, for example, in the notification area may move out of the taskbar. Bar can be placed not only on the merits, but also at the highest (or vertically) to (24-256 pixels) to the left or right, and can change in size and length percent of the screen size. And many other bars with various specific functions can be added in different places, for example, a bar on the right and left, or even overlap (one fixed and one hidden self). Since KDE Plasma spaces, and perform tasks as a widget plasma.
Standard K Desktop Environment 3.5.

GNOME [edit]
Similarly, GNOME 2 uses its own type of task bar, known as the plates (responsible for the program itself, the so-called panel GNOME). By default, Gnome usually 2 contains two of the show at the top and bottom of the screen. The upper panel usually contains navigation menus labeled applications, places and order in this system. These lists links to popular applications, and parts of the system files and facilities management system of preferences, respectively.
By default, the upper part of the panel in Ubuntu
By default the bottom of the panel in Ubuntu
The upper panel usually contain time zone and reports, while the lower panel contains buttons to switch between virtual desktops, and a list of the same window, and the button that reduces all windows (similar to show how Windows) button office. It is dealt with plates of the plate called widgets, which can consist of application shortcuts, search tools, or tools applications content. Content can be transferred from the plates, remove, or configured in some other way.
GNOME 3.0, April 2011
In GNOME 3, it is replaced by plates with GNOME Shell, the top of the screen with a button bar activities on the left, the clock in the middle, and the media on the right. GNOME Shell does not contain a traditional task bar, windows can not be underestimated. Users can windows virtual desktop management and operation of the application (either "Dash" on the side of the screen, or Search) against all activities that are displayed when you click the button activities. GNOME 3.8 introduces the classic style, which re-implement some aspects of the GNOME 2 and GNOME Shell extensions.

XFCE
LXDE
Cinnamon
MATE
ITO windows that provide an integrated bar include the following tasks:
Flex
fvwm95
IceWM
JWM
qvwm
Windowlab
WindowMaker
Programs that provide independent tasks bars to desktop environments or window managers without that include Avant Window Navigator, PyPanel, fbpanel, perlpanel, tint2, and others.
