This is not that strange. taskbar buttons are about 6 cm long, but only 1 cm high. this means that using a taskbar on the side of the screen, the desktop manager can fit much more icons on such a bar than on a bar that is on the top or bottom of the screen. grouping then is done only if the whole bar fills up. kind regards, Bruno. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Samuel Andersson" <tetsu@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <openbeos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, July 02, 2004 5:03 PM Subject: [openbeos] Re: Microsoft patents taskbar grouping! > Scott MacMaster wrote: > > >Really?
