You have nevertheless to notice something: the “progress” brought by Windows 11 is that the taskbar is no more flexible. Once you have added a dozen shortcuts, except if you display them with very little icons, you get the rest in the overlap menu, and each time you want to click on one of the new shortcuts you must first develop the overlap menu.
This is why the application TaskbarGroups was created.
And also why I cloned it, to add support for tooltips (as I was not very satisfied with a collection of 20 identical shortcuts in a rectangle), and for shortcuts to folders.
I think I am going to publish it next.
