So they're naturally over on the left side of my taskbar.

This sounds a lot like where the Windows taskbar is today.

Atop of this, what is with the new top taskbar?

The biggest visible result of all this is the taskbar.

Some window managers provide a 'taskbar' which shows running applications.

There are a few ways to pin applications to the taskbar.

The Windows taskbar can be modified by users in several ways.

The taskbar allows users to pin most frequently used programs.

The taskbar can be locked to prevent it from accidentally being moved.

Programs running or pinned on the taskbar can be rearranged.

When you click on the computer's desktop area, the Taskbar should disappear.

This keeps the taskbar from being overcrowded when many windows are open at once.

These grips slightly decrease amount of available space in the taskbar.

A Taskbar beside it shows what programs are currently running and is supposed to be visible at all times.

Does it go to a multi-row format like the Windows taskbar?

Previously, only windows showed their status on the taskbar.

You should see the volume icon in the Windows Taskbar.

If you'd rather see what's in the notification area without having to click around, you can change the Taskbar properties.

Two examples of containments are the desktop background and the taskbar.

In past versions of Windows, the taskbar ended with the notification area on the right side.

The taskbar thumbnails are another example of this approach.

The traditional taskbar at the bottom of the screen would be replaced by a very similar looking "document bar".

Further, Opera can hide the taskbar process to the notification area next to the clock.

Taskbar buttons and Start menu entries are big enough, but they're exceptional.

Having used the new taskbar for approaching a year now, I think that overall, it's an improvement on its predecessor.
