Hey all and thank you in advance. I did a search prior to posting!

I'm trying to duplicate a couple basic Windows Taskbar functionality features.

1. Taskbar icons can be right-clicked to expand application specific features. Example: "New incognito window" for chrome, or "File explorer" for File Explorer Folder task bar item.
2. Chrome task bar icon should show preview windows of all open browser windows when you mouse-over the task bar icon for Chrome.

Can you help?

Thank you!

As far as I know, there isn't a way to invoke the normal taskbar task icon menu. Also, I don't think NextSTART can show the multi-tab thumbnails.

OK - I guess my question / comments goes into the feedback category then.

The product would greatly benefit by starting with duplicating Operating System features, then improving. With any OS related feature, it should always be function over form. I've talked to a few users (and past users) of the product and most said something similar to "oh yeah, I run windows taskbar under it". :| What's the point?

I paid $20 bucks or something for the deluxe version, and I'd gladly pay $60 for a true windows taskbar replacement, but without basic operating system features, the Nexus taskbar is reduced to being just a novelty, and it gets in the way of functional use.

Would love to see an update that addresses this!
