I don't have a task bar, but I have a status bar at the top. Does that still count?

>>56546977
Sure, what ever works for you.

Oy vey!

Bottom is quite clearly superior. On a wide-screen monitor it leaves you with a massive amount of space to freely show full window titles. The icons are also easy to open thanks to their big size. Moving the cursor to the bottom is also rather easy. Top could be decent, but it really conflicts with window frames (can't close full-screen windows by moving to screen top edge, can't work with browser tabs as easily)

Both left and right are pretty dumb since they don't even allow you to view window titles without making the bar huge. Also the argument about vertical space is dumb, a bottom bar takes a negligible amount of vertical space. And in fact vertical space is more abundant than horizontal space if you have two windows side-by-side.

Cherry picking much?

>>56547876
At least personally I almost never have just one window taking up the horizontal space. There's always browser window occupying the left half if nothing else.

I've had it left till i moved up and bought 2 monitors.

>>56547903
Then your an edge case.
That isn't a problem, but it's not the norm.

>>56547826
>window titles
The windows have icons for a reason, anon
Also on something like Gnome 2 or XFCE you can the names listed vertically

>>56548650
Problem with that is that it gets messy when there's more windows, and it will be hard to locate the one you're looking for since they're not always visible.

But yeah it's fine

Just a PSA:

It's possible to make the taskbar thinner using '7+ Taskbar Tweaker'. Just 1 icon instead of 2. Pic related, my setup

Right click on taskbar icon, advanced settings, set no width limit to 1. It can be resized now, and you can hide the 7+ icon after that.

Top just because it's default in bbZero. Left and right are pure cancer, bottom is alright.

I actually like the aesthetics, and apps view is easier to navigate than classic style tree view, you can even sort it in different ways. But I understand why many people don't like it. Overall, 8.1 is more consistent because the desktop part is largely unchanged.
