A new third-party gadget that allows Win11 taskbar icons not to be merged (with download address)

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Terrence for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, May 9, Windows 11 taskbar icon does not merge this feature is a feature that many users are looking forward to, but Microsoft has not provided it. However, an enthusiastic Windows enthusiast has developed a gadget that allows you to implement this feature.

This gadget is called Shell Frosting and is developed by Twitter user Albacore. It allows you to adjust the icon composition of the taskbar on Windows 11. There are three options: always merge and hide tabs; merge when the taskbar is full; and never merge. You can also set different options for multiple monitors, which are already available in some preview versions of Windows 11, but have not been officially enabled by Microsoft.

The interface of Shell Frosting is very simple. You can complete the settings with just a few clicks, and you can see the effect in the image below:

However, Albacore cautioned that the gadget is currently unstable and may have some problems. CTOnews.com partners who want to try can go to GitHub to download it, but it's best to use it on a virtual machine or non-host computer.
