Visible. The rest is dependant on many things.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.

as someone else who is always multi-tasking, do you find any advantage to the vertical taskbar or is it just personal preference

It's like using your right hand to type most of the words you type, its weird at first but I find it nice since i go left to right and right to left on windows. On a different note, wish more brackets and all that jazz were on the left side. Im not left handed, but i prefer to use my left hand for typing and everything but writing because i make more wrongs than rights ;0 but seriously its nice going to the right of the screen where the close window button is and then you can open programs faster. Also it opens more space for more vertical box windows.

i never considered making access to the windows key faster as a reason to do it. i mostly use the windows key on my keyboard and search for programs. thats a very interesting take, maybe ill give vertical another shot

its minimal, but nice. instead of going all the way down the screen, go to the side to open a new program. and it looks cleaner IMO.

Horizontal, visible and at the bottom of the screen, aka standard windows style. I tired having it at the top of the screen but after a while that was just too edgy for me.

I tend to keep my taskbar visible at all times. The vertical positioning is for stylistic preferences. Strangely, however, I didn't continue that orientation when I started using MacOS or Linux. I have issues.
