A Super bar looks like something sci-fi, I really didn't know what synthetic name to give to those graphic elements of Windows that allow you to logically group the launch icons of the programs in a better way, more beautiful to see and that makes the use of the PC faster.
Something similar to the Start menu which should become the default interface of the upcoming Windows 7.
So these super bars, whose name should be "Stacks", are basically the start menus in which to insert the icons of the programs to run them and open them quickly.
We had already seen something very similar in the article on " Docks " which are always start menu bars with graphics similar to those of Mac OS systems.

1) ViGlance is used to recreate the super bar that will be on Windows 7, on Windows Xp.
It replaces the classic green Start bar with a much more functional semi-transparent menu bar especially when you iconize the windows on the bar.
The open programs are grouped together and this makes the graphics more orderly and organized.
The theory is that, when looking at a computer screen, most users are able to respond and recognize graphics better than written words.
ViGlance then maximizes the icons and deletes the text from the start menu.
The Start button instead is replaced with a smaller button that has the Windows icon similar to that found in Vista, even with the same transition effects.
Practically, the windows that correspond to the same program and are iconized are grouped in a single button, hovering over them with the mouse, a window appears that lists and allows you to zoom in, everything inside it.
I must say that you first download and install ViGlance to see it work than to explain what it does in words ...
The program uninstalls smoothly to return to the old XP menu.
The program also works with Vista but the additional effects are much less so for Vista we can try others.
2) 7Stacks does something that on Windows you could easily do without using other programs but it does it in a nicer way.
Practically, if you press the right button on the normal Windows bar, you can choose the menu " Toolbars " and you can create a new one.
It is added as if it were a button but, if you press it with the left mouse button and drag it to the center of the desktop, it becomes a launch window for the programs and files that are inside it (you have to remove the flag at the " lock taskbar " if there is).
Well 7Stacks creates these windows where you can put the icons corresponding to the files and programs you use most .
The icons can be arranged in the form of a list, a table or with larger images.
3) Another excellent tool to create a super application bar to launch programs by organizing them into buttons is StandaloneStack which creates the Mac OS X Stacks on Windows by grouping icons into buttons as it also happens on the iPhone.
4) With the 7+ Taskbar Tweaker program you can instead customize the application bar to the maximum, having access to hidden options that Windows, theoretically, would not allow you to modify.
In another post other programs are reported to improve the graphics of the desktop and windows on Windows .
