The program is quite light-weight and used about 2MB of memory and less than 1% of the CPU (usually about 0.2%) during my tests. Though it is available for free from GitHub, an optional paid version is available from the Windows Store. If you have the Search Bar enabled on your taskbar, you can enable the "Center between Start or Search" option in FalconX, and the program will center the icons between the two Windows UX elements.įalconX works with multiple monitors as well. You can enable the "Run at Startup" option to make the program load during Windows' boot. The refresh button reloads the application. This isn't an issue if you don't use auto-hide.
So, if you're on a webpage with a white theme, the taskbar turns white-ish, and the system tray becomes nearly unreadable. Note: If you have auto-hide enabled for the taskbar and choose a style in FalconX, the taskbar will not apply the effect based on the wallpaper, rather it uses the color of the current window. You can still apply Windows' own Taskbar customizations such as changing the icon size or enabling auto-hide. Here's what the Acrylic style looks like. You can view the changes immediately without having to restart the application. The Blur style adds a frosted glass effect to the taskbar, while the Transparent setting offers an immersive experience. The styles are disabled by default, so technically the default Windows 10 style acts as a fourth option. The last one is marked as unstable by the developer, but it worked pretty well during tests. Taskbar StyleįalconX has three taskbar styles that you can choose from: Transparent, Blur and Acrylic. The default value is 0 and you may adjust it using a slider or by entering values manually  This is useful if you want to move the taskbar to a particular position, for e.g. You can set the offset position of the taskbar, in terms of pixels. There is an option to adjust the animation speed, which you can set by using the slider or enter the precise ms (Millisecond) number in the box. FalconX has 42 animations to choose from and if you don't like any of those, you can disable animation completely. You can choose the animation style from the Settings Screen. The program sits on the system tray and you can access its options by right-clicking the icon and selecting "Settings". This gives a dock-like experience and some users may find the icons easier to reach as a consequence. Run the program and your taskbar icons will now be placed smack-dab in the middle of the taskbar. Windows 7 users could also use a manual method to center taskbar items.įalconX is a portable application. The application is also known as Center Taskbar or Falcon, and we have reviewed it back in 2018 for the last time.
