In the screenshot below, we can see that the applications - Windows Explorer, IE, Windows Media Player are running and the applications - FireFox, MSN Live Messenger, not running. The applications running appear as overlay icons in the superbar and others appear normal. The Windows taskbar also holds any number of items and as the number of items in the taskbar grows, users get a small vertical scrollbar to scroll through the other items.Īny application that is not a part of the superbar still appear in the dock when running and remain until they are quit. For example, Mail can show the unread messages count as they come in. Notifications can behave in any number of ways, depending on the application. The dock provides progress indicators and sometimes dock icons bounce when notifying, and will keep doing so until the user accesses them. Drag anything off the dock from either side, and a small "poof" of smoke appears, indicating that the user is about to erase that item from the dock (though not permanently from the system.) Icons and stacks can be rearranged within their limits on each side. The sides are separated by a vertical crosswalk. The right side of the dock is for "everything else": files, minimized windows, stacks, and the trash. The left side holds only applications, running or otherwise. The dock has a left side and a right side. When you quit an application whose icon doesn't reside in the dock, its icon also disappears from the dock. When you quit an application whose icon resides in the dock, the indicator disappears. Running items are distinguished by an indicator at the bottom of their respective icons. Applications that do not normally keep icons in the dock will still appear when running and remain until they are quit. The dock can hold any number of items and resize them dynamically to fit while using magnification to clarify smaller resized items. Today, we will go through some of the basic functionalities that both dock and superbar provide and have in common.
