The release notes from the developer say that the application was completely reworked and rewritten. The configurator (Settings) program has been overhauled. This, in my opinion, is the biggest change in TaskbarX. You may download FalconX 1.4.5.0 if the minimal file size is important to you. There are 19 additional files (24 total), compared to the five files in the original program.

The FalconX folder, when extracted weighs about 854KB, but TaskbarX's folder is about 12.3MB. The application folder is now a bit beefy. Additionally, the Task Schedule option (for auto-start) now has its own tab in the TaskbarX configurator sidebar. TaskbarX can pause the centering if the screen resolution is changed to a defined value that you set in the 'Skip resolution' field. The refresh rate of the taskbar can be tweaked and you've two options to do so normal refresh rate and refresh rate while on battery. If you use additional toolbars on the taskbar, the program will take those into consideration, when centering the icons, if you enable the setting for it. Unlike in FalconX, which only let you center the taskbar on your main monitor, TaskbarX allows you to center the primary (main monitor) and secondary taskbars (on your second monitor). The other options are Default, Blur and Transparent, just like in the older version. The Acrylic style setting which was previously marked as unstable in FalconX, is now a regular option in TaskbarX. Similarly, the animation speed slider has also been removed, with a manual option to set the delay.

TaskbarX no longer has a slider for changing the offset positions, instead it now has text fields where you can enter the pixel position. You'll see why I say this in the 'Interface' section of this article. It only works with Windows 10, and I don't expect this to change.

The application still doesn't have a tray menu, and hence depends on the Configurator to manage and exit TaskbarX. The core functionality of the program hasn't changed, you have to run the main executable to center the icons on the Taskbar. Yes, though it is primarily a portable application, you can now choose to install it on the computer. TaskbarX's folder now has three executables, one of which is for the main program, the second one is the Settings or as it's called now the Configurator, while the third one is an installer.

I noticed many changes when I ran the program, so here is what is new in the new version of the application.
