Windows 10: How to get rid of the line under the taskbar icons ?

Well if like me you use the taskbar with no grouping and no applications pinned, then that underlining forced option is ridiculous.
I hope someone will find a way to disable it.

 

I prefer this to having the whole icon lit up aka 7 ... though if the active window it will highlight with the bar to show open ...

Bro67: Can you resist the shiny button? The bright shiny candylike button? NO I CAN'T !! *Smile

 

I want it gone too. Its out of place. and it looks like it's doing somthing but it isn't.
If it vcant be removed i'd like it BLACK. Not purple as i have now (yuck). *Wink

 

This is a forum where we get to discus things. As for me it's not a bother.. but I like them.

With the applications boxes being the same colour as the taskbar, it would be difficult to see what is there as they don't really stand out unless either highlight or with the underline, The text is a big give away but it's not exactly saying look at me I'm open here.

Honestly I hadn't really noticed it and now I do notice it more but well..I kinda like it, Hope you find the solution you are looking for though.

 

I never really noticed it till this thread.

 

*Ditto*Ditto It's simply a small visual indication you have something(s) running. Would you rather not know what apps/progs/whatever you opened? I prefer to drive without a blindfold on. IMHO.

 

Well ..I like this better ..:

 

Only if you have stuff pinned to the taskbar. Otherwise, you already know what's running by virtue of it simply being there.

Also, people who want to "discuss" the fact that they like the underline should start their own thread, not hijack a thread where the question is how to disable it.

 

Sorry.. but this is a two way street when it come to any discussion. I can fully understand that the OP would like to remove that feature but as far as I know there will be no way to do that, now or in the future. Well, unless MS removes it from the OS.

 

Sorry to say, but you don't know much then. We've been able to completely customize what the taskbar looks like in all Windows versions since XP, so removing some underlines is nothing, and we're sure to see some apps or skins that can do it come out very soon. In fact, you can already get the "classic" taskbar back, which doesn't have those underlines.

 

Nice.. take the statement I made and just use the part you want to use. If you took the time to use the entire statement I said that MS would not change the feature.. not that there would not be any third party product that would be able to change the task bar.

Me either.

 

Well you can't now so don't hang yourself for something so insignificant. Seriously?
