Into Windows posted transform Vista taskbar into Windows 7 taskbar guide just after the release of Windows 7 build 6801, back in October 2008. The guide was simple and it was very effective since there were no Windows 7 themes available for Vista at that point of time (was the first guide available on the web at that time).

 

Since then, we posted many guides related to Windows 7 taskbar including get Windows 7 taskbar shuffle feature in XP & Vista which helps you add Windows 7’s shuffle taskbar feature to XP & Vista.

    I’ve tried this program before, and I was unsatisfied with it because of the fact that it only works at the bottom of the screen. Now I know that most people just put their taskbar at the bottom of the screen and lock it, I actually prefer a sidebar. Does anyone know a program like this that is more flexible?
