The tool displays the taskbar on multiple monitors, and supports the system tray and the clock as well. The edges of the dock are rounded, but has a jagged effect due to the lack of anti-aliasing in Windows 11. The system tray and clock are detached from the taskbar and appears like a secondary dock. But when you open a minimized window, or switch to the desktop, the tool will shrink the taskbar to a dock, with the wallpaper overflowing the edges. You may not notice a difference if you have a window that is maximized, i.e., the taskbar will look normal. TaskbarXI is portable, download it from the project's GitHub page, run the executable, and it is ready to use. That said, even at this stage, it does offer some nice features. The project's page mentions that a GUI is in the works, as are the options to change the taskbar background style and color. Multi-monitor support for the taskbar arrived in the preview builds back in July, along with a new search box in the Start Menu.The C++ program aims to be the successor to TaskbarX (formerly FalconX), from the same developer, but TaskbarXI is still in an early development phase. Microsoft is still working on updates for the Windows 11 taskbar and Start Menu, though the company is unlikely to add some of the customization options that third-party tools like TaskbarXI are working on. The current version is 'for testing purposes only,' as the developer notes you have to use the Task Manager to shut down TaskbarXI and restart the Windows Explorer to apply changes. If you want to give TaskbarXI a spin, you can download the latest release from GitHub. There's no option to move the taskbar to the sides or top of your screen, but someone did request it as a feature - if you have a GitHub account and want to see that feature added, click the thumbs up button on the original comment. Changing the taskbar background style and color is currently in the works, along with a simple graphical interface for updating the settings.

The utility also supports multiple monitors, separate DPI scaling, and splitting the taskbar into left and right panes.
