Idea #24891: A Better Way to Manage Long-Running Applications

Written by snizovtsev the 21 May 10 at 15:12. Category: Usability. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
Many long-running application uses notification area instead taskbar. I think it's boring! Pin-like feature for taskbar will solve this problem.

See Kevin Mehall blog entry for more information (with working solution):
