## What it is
TaskbarXI is a C++ application that modifies the Windows 11 taskbar, primarily turning it into a macOS-style dock. It supports multiple monitors, DPI scaling, a settings GUI, and various command-line parameters.

## Use cases
- center taskbar icons in windows 11
- turn windows 11 taskbar into a dock
- customize taskbar corner radius and style
- make the taskbar behave like a mac dock
- hide the system tray on windows 11
- auto-start a customized taskbar on login

## When to choose
- you want a dock-like taskbar on Windows 11
- you need multi-monitor and per-DPI taskbar handling
- you prefer a GUI plus CLI parameters for taskbar tweaks

## When to avoid
- you are on Windows 10 (use TaskbarX instead)
- you need deep taskbar theming beyond dock behavior
- you need actively developed features; the project has not released since 2022

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: gui, developer-tools
- domain: desktop-applications, windows, developer-tools
- platform: windows
- tags: taskbar, windows-11, dock, taskbar-customization, c-plus-plus, desktop
