Have the taskbar resize like in a window (more smoothly).

Submitted by computerkid on March 13, 2010 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Usability

Problem: Currently when you resize the task bar, and keep your mouse held at a certain spot the windows is still in the same spot making it seem a little clunky in my opinion.

Solution: Make the windows move to fill up the space that is opened up when you resize the task bar (kinda like the way a window resizes). In my opinion, it could give the illusion of a faster system.

Start Menu Out Of Shape

Submitted by Trinity1080 on March 13, 2010 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

Problem: When the taskbar is being docked on the side, it will block the pinned items. That is not good, but the worst part is when it is dragged wider, the start menu will change into something very ugly which I failed to describe it.

Solution: Fix this bug!
