RetroBar version 1.20 has been released, offering users a portable application that evokes nostalgia by allowing them to replace their modern Windows taskbar with classic styles from Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, and XP. The app is easy to use—simply unzip and run it to transform your taskbar into a throwback design that many users fondly remember as simpler times.
To customize the theme, users can right-click on the taskbar and access the properties, although it's worth noting that this may limit some of the usual context menu options. However, users can quickly disable the classic feel if desired. RetroBar provides a playful way to personalize the taskbar, blending old-school aesthetics with contemporary technology.
Key features of RetroBar include:
- Replacement of the default Windows taskbar with a classic layout
- Native notification area
- Task list supporting UWP apps
- Start button that opens the modern start menu
- Options to show or hide the clock
- Support for multiple themes, including various versions of Windows
For those interested in further customization of their Windows experience, there are also guides available on how to customize the taskbar in Windows 10 and 11, change its location, center icons, and add color to different elements of the interface, as well as enable or disable transparency effects.
In addition to these features, RetroBar encourages users to revisit the charm of earlier Windows interfaces, providing a unique blend of nostalgia and functionality that appeals to both long-time users and newcomers alike
