Possible to disable taskbar previews in WIndowFX 3?

Wednesday, November 28, 2007 by Jakobkraft | Discussion: Stardock Support General


I know you can exclude a program in WindowFX but even if you exclude it, the taskbar preview still comes up.
I have a WMP powertoy in my system tray and even though WMP is in my exclusions list, the taskbar preview still comes up when I mouse over it, which is kind of a pain.

Is there a way, in general, to disable taskbar preview in addition to exlucding an app?
ANy help would be greatly appreciated -- thanks in advance...!

It is possible to disable taskbar previews altogether - just go into the Taskbar Previews section and enable the Show taskbar previews whe nI mouseover the taskbar buttons option. I do not believe that the exclusion list will have any bearing on whether taskbar previews are drawn, however.

I will forward your feature request to the developers.

Thanks - I really don't want to disable taskbar previews systemwide - I think it's a great feature. I just feel that an application exclusion should exclude (or give you the option to exclude) taskbar previews as well.

Thanks for replying:)
