The new superbar in Windows 7 has big icons like the dock which are moveable as well, but you can’t centralize them on the taskbar like OS X Docks’ icons. Well, here’s a trick that lets you do just that as shown in the above image.

Normally, this series is called ‘Apps for Windows’, but this one is titled for Windows 7 because the application is made specifically for this OS. This must be one of the first third party applications that supports Jump Lists, Taskbar previews and even controls in the previews like Windows Media Player does. Made by Neowin member Baptiste Girod (daty2k1), Gmail Notifier Plus is a unique application that does what Windows Live Mail doesn’t. It notifies you when you have new email in your Gmail account through a notification on its taskbar button, which works like a charm. It doesn’t pop up an ugly notification but instead looks pleasing.
Want to see a preview of the new mail? Hover over the taskbar button, and it’ll show you snippets of your new mail. You can use the arrow buttons to navigate between new mails right there in the thumbnail preview.
