How does Windows 11's new Taskbar design compare to Windows 10's Taskbar?

Windows 11's Taskbar design is a departure from the familiar look of the Taskbar in Windows 10. The new design features centered app icons, similar to Mac OS, instead of the left-aligned icons in Windows 10. Additionally, the icons are now smaller, giving more space for the wallpaper to show through.

Another notable change in Windows 11 Taskbar is the integration of the Start menu with the Taskbar. Unlike Windows 10, which has a separate Start menu button in the Taskbar, Windows 11 features a hybrid Start menu that combines the Start menu and the Taskbar. This placement makes it more convenient and quicker to access your frequently used apps and documents.

One downside, however, is that Microsoft has removed the ability to customize the Taskbar in Windows 11, which was a popular feature in Windows 10. With Windows 11, you're limited to what Microsoft has provided. Additionally, Windows 11's Taskbar doesn't have a feature to show badges on icons, which was useful for apps like Mail and Teams to display the number of unread messages.

Overall, the Windows 11 Taskbar design is a refreshing change from the old Taskbar in Windows 10. The centered app icons and the integrated Start menu give it a modern look and make it more user-friendly.
