Themes & presets
Pick a preset and fine-tune size, alignment, blur, tint, spacing, and behavior.
Themes & presets
Themes are presets for Taskbar’s layout and chrome. They’re not just “colors” - a theme can change spacing, container shape, and how “dock-like” the taskbar feels.
Use themes to get to a good baseline fast, then adjust:
- alignment + size: Alignment & size
- grouping behavior: Combine mode
- auto-hide and other behavior toggles
Included themes
Taskbar includes these base themes:
- Dynamic Island - floating island layout with extra breathing room.
- macOS Dock - dock-like compact layout.
- Redmond 11 - familiar Win11-style baseline.
Premium Themes (sold separately)
Premium Themes are a separate upgrade for Taskbar - they are not included by default.
Premium Themes include:
- Liquid Flow
- Frost Glass
- Split Zones
- Cyber HUD
- Retro 95
The promise “2 new themes per month” applies only to Premium Themes (while active).
How to choose (fast)
Pick based on how you work:
- You want floating but still “taskbar-shaped” → Dynamic Island
- You want dock-like compactness → macOS Dock
- You want “Windows on macOS” familiarity → Redmond 11

Dock-like themes (what changes)
Dock-like themes (especially macOS Dock) are optimized for a centered, compact layout.
That can affect behavior:
- alignment is effectively centered
- window buttons tend to behave more “combined” (more dock-like)
If you’re troubleshooting “why does this theme behave differently?”, start by checking theme + combine settings.
