Is there anyway way to make taskbar icons group with their shortcuts on the taskbar like the default Windows 7 taskbar does?

Also, this is nitpicking but I've noticed that icons, when grouped, appear much narrower than they do on the Windows 7 taskbar. I've included a picture of this.

Is this the problem that he was talking about? I've updated to 4.0.1 Beta 7 and the programs are still not grouped with their pinned icons (Spotify and Outlook).

hi there,
just picked up this old conversation about grouping the items with the running ones. this was working for me in 5.0.1 version but has stopped after installing the new 5.1 version. is there a setting that switches this functionality on/off?
thanks

thanks for your reply Keith,
the two settings from your post did not turn off by themselves. Shortcuts grouping was set to "Combine with taskbar icons" and Group buttons was set to Automatic (have changed it to Enabled after rebooting, just in case).
it looks like the PC just needed a reboot after the upgrade it is working OK now.
cheers

It is no 14 YEARS later...Promises, Promises!!!
I would still like to see this and am pretty sure it would take little effort.
In the meantime, I am STILL having to use a blank (or common) folder and adding a blank Icon - or Icon with a dash or slash on it.

This was fixed ages ago, not sure what you're on about.

My apologies and thanks for bringing this to my attention!
I was troubleshooting multiple issues and had a 'Brain Burp' and confused this with a completely different post. I retract my rant with utmost embarrassment???
