* Acessing "Properties" is done via right click on taskbar, both on Windows 10, and 11 styles

* Support for automatic updates
* Implemented setup program
* Fixed issue where setting the Windows 10 taskbar to one of the screen edges crashed the Windows 11 taskbar if enabled
* System tray icons are now left intact when switching between Windows 10 and Windows 11 taskbars, and after build updates
