Our verdict on TaskbarDock

TaskbarDock is a free, open-source Windows utility for adjusting selected aspects of the Windows 10 taskbar. It is aimed at users who want centered taskbar icons, transparency adjustments, icon-size controls, and support for multiple monitors without a paid plan. The utility can center icons relative to the tasklist area or the screen, toggle between small and large taskbar icons, and run from the system tray. It also includes autorun and remembers settings, making it suitable for a lightweight customization workflow.

Its feature depth is focused rather than broad. The published feature set covers icon centering, transparency, multi-monitor use, taskbar icon sizing, autorun, saved settings, and tray operation. That combination addresses common visual and convenience adjustments, particularly for users who want a centered layout or a less opaque taskbar. It does not provide taskbar positioning controls, so users looking to move the taskbar itself should consider a tool with a wider positioning feature set instead.

TaskbarDock is distributed through GitHub releases, and the maintainer describes the project as an early-development beta. GitHub releases are shown as pre-releases, with the latest listed release identified as v0.1.65. That positioning makes the utility a better fit for users comfortable with an in-progress open-source project and a focused set of controls. Users who want a free Windows taskbar utility for centered icons, transparency, multi-monitor support, and basic persistence should find its scope relevant; those seeking a mature, broad customization suite should look elsewhere.
