==Acorn RISC OS taskbar==
Perhaps the Acorn RISC OS 'taskbar' should be mentioned -- it was a grey panel at the bottom of the screen, that displayed the icons of running programs along with a 'main menu' (Acorn logo'). Not identical to Windows' taskbar, but very similar and predates it by several years. [[User:86.131.35.35|86.131.35.35]] 19:57, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
:Actually it doesn't predate Windows Taskbar with several years. Windows 1.0x had a taskbar-like panel in the bottom, showing the running tasks in iconified state. This was in 1985, two years before RISC OS ;) [[User:Dylansmrjones|Dylansmrjones]] 17:52, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
:: that's not a taskbar, it's iconified windows on the desktop <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/69.125.110.223|69.125.110.223]] ([[User talk:69.125.110.223|talk]]) 16:33, 19 December 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:: In [[Talk:Dock_(computing)#Iconbar_Removal]], the creator of the RISC OS iconbar mentions it was also created in 1985. He doesn't give a more specific date, and neither does Microsoft, so it's unclear which came first. He mentions Apple's MacOS Dock as inspiration, which implies the Microsoft version wasn't around at the time. [[User:REH11|REH11]] ([[User talk:REH11|talk]]) 15:33, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
I agree! RISC OS is a great OS, still being developed after all this time too :) it's taskbar is certainly worth some info about, possibly with images, especially as it predated windows 95 and possibly had some small influence on it. [[User:Xmoogle|Xmoogle]] 01:59, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

== Systray ==
For me, the systray is the stuff on the very right, just next to the clock. ("Unpliug or eject hardware", "language" ...) So isn't there a difference between Taskbar and systray? (As mentioned in the references, systray is a never used, but planned term, but i'd still call the most right stuff systray.) --[[User:Saippuakauppias|Saippuakauppias]] [[:de:Benutzer Diskussion:Saippuakauppias|⇄]] 23:45, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
To add to these confusion about systray vs notification area, here's the latest edition of Microsoft Writing Style Guide about systray and notification area: Systray [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/a-z-word-list-term-collections/s/system-tray]
Notification area [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/a-z-word-list-term-collections/n/notification-area]
Compare these with the archived versions:
Systray [https://web.archive.org/web/20230116023717/https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/a-z-word-list-term-collections/s/system-tray]
Notification area [https://web.archive.org/web/20230331105447/https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/a-z-word-list-term-collections/n/notification-area]
From the comparisons, it seems like for Windows 11, Microsoft officially reverted back to the term systray: "In Windows 11, use to refer to the area on the taskbar where the clock and system notifications appear. In earlier versions of Windows, this UI element was referred to as the notification area". And also: "In Windows 8 and Windows 10, use to refer to the area on the taskbar where the clock and system notifications appear. In Windows 11, this UI element is referred to as the system tray"

:::::: I have been following this great debate. Would it be appropriate to balance the line by saying "a name Microsoft considers incorrect but which nevertheless is used by them and the Windows community?"

Registry entries and header files of SDKs consistently refer to it as "SysTray".

== Screenshots ==
Do we really need a screenshot for each version? Most of the differences between the screenshots are really just differences in settings (some of them not even the default for the version shown):
* The theme or color scheme
* The presence and content of the Quick Launch toolbar
* The contents of the notification area
* What format the time is displayed in
* The size of the task buttons
* Whether or not the titles of running programs are shown
The only meaningful difference is the button for hidden notification icons and the Aero Peek button. - [[User:Josh the Nerd|Josh]] ([[User talk:Josh the Nerd|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Josh_the_Nerd|contribs]]) 01:42, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

== KDE3 Screenshot/description -> Update to KDE4 Please. ==
Could anyone update the KDE3 screenshot and description to KDE4 please? I am too biased. Kicker is no longer used at all and is gone with the end of KDE3, Plasma is now being used (and the Panel plasmoid).
== System tray??? ==
What microsoft calls the notification area is called the System Tray on NON-microsoft freedesktop.org platforms.

== Windows 1 ==
Windows 1.0 had a taskbar of sorts in which iconized programs would reside and I think it should be mentioned in the article. However, it wouldn't fit in the main Windows section, and it was never referred to as a taskbar, and its function wasn't exactly identical. So I propose creating a new section, "Predecessors". We would mention this feature in it, and move the implementations currently mentioned in "Other desktop environments" that precede Win95's taskbar to it. - [[User:Wikizzer|Wikizzer]] ([[User talk:Wikizzer|talk]]) 23:42, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

== Microsoft Windows section taskbar pictures ==
I want to do some little changes to the order of pictures in [[Taskbar#Microsoft Windows|this section]] of the article. I think it will be better if the Windows 95 taskbar will be the first from the top, then the XP, 7, 8 and lastly the 8.1 version at the bottom. Though the pictures may be on discussion, I might improve the article by reordering the pictures such that they show the chronological order of the taskbar versons. Is my suggestion better than the current version, or should it be retained? [[User:Japanese Rail Fan|Japanese Rail Fan]] ([[User talk:Japanese Rail Fan|talk]]) 03:56, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
