To compensate for this lack of notification, Windows 7 Taskbar offers Overlay Icons and Progress Bars. You can read more about the updates to the Notification Area here. Consequently, it is safe to assume that large number of the notification balloons will also not be visible and most users will not see them.
By default, almost all the tray icons are concealed. Windows 7 “removed” the System Tray Icon area. From little things, like allowing users to arrange their Taskbar icons as they see fit, to enabling users to control the number of icons on the Taskbar.

What a load of crap.You could right-click on it and choose properties to get more options but it seems the closest is 'auto-hide' which only partly solves the issue. I also do a lot of work for which information displayed precisely at the bottom of the windows is of critical importance now that's hidden and I have to manually make non-maximized windows as large as the area outside of the taskbar. Slower than my old machine even though I am working on a new hardware with better characteristics?), but is especially disgusting given how much it affects productivity - I have many years of deeply ingrained habits of working with maximized windows, and I have wasted the last 3 days trying to make that piece of crap fit to work with (instead of actually being productive in that period).Īnd the bottom of windows being behind the taskbar is only one of the extremely annoying things that are wrong with Windows 10 (did I mention how slow it was initially and how even after I fixed the memory settings that were causing it, it is still somewhat I really really didn't want to do it because I knew it was going to be a crapfest, but I had no choice and was forced to move to Windows 10 because my old laptop was physically falling apart so I had to buy a new one, and of course they only sell them with
