IMHO, it ALSO provides functionality superior to the apps (free and paid) that it replaced. For those interested, my current desktop screen configuration includes: The default Windows taskbar at bottom, One static Linkbar on left side - 120 pixels wide, One static Linkbar at top - 80 pixels tall, One "auto-hide" Linkbar on right with "Show" defined as "Mouse hover." Linkbar is a well-thought-out project with a simple design and easy-to-understand interface. (As an aside, I formerly accomplished this task using a nifty app named "Aerial - Claim Desktop Spaces.") With Linkbar, I achieve the same results when defining the horizontal and vertical margin settings for each Linkbar I create. To avoid excessive craning of my neck to look left and right or up and down, I rarely maximize ANY window to full screen mode - even when viewing windows side by side. My eyesight has deteriorated over the years and I now sit closer to the monitor than in my younger days. What does this mean and how does it help me? I have a 24" widescreen monitor with a displayable resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The act of creating a linkbar enables me to "exclude," or wall-off "unused" space on my desktop. #2) Linkbar provides a side benefit that may not have been an intentional feature of the app. But for me, all the bells and whistles (like animations and fancy skins) were overkill and distracting. I realize these "app docks" are popular with, and useful for, many Windows users and I mean no disrespect to their authors.
Because of this, I have abandoned clumsy, bloated, and annoying "app docks" like Rainmeter, Nexus, Circle Dock, ObjectDock, and others. For me, Linkbar killed two birds (problems) with one stone (application): #1) I can quickly and easily create and maintain multiple Linkbars that look and behave like the default Windows taskbar. I've been looking for a tool like this for years! For Windows users who wish to keep their desktop tidy and organized without sacrificing productivity, this is THE solution.
