任务栏：修订间差异

其他操作系统和桌面环境，例如 [[macOS 通述|macOS]]、KDE Plasma 或 MATE，也包括任务栏概念的实现。

Prior to the introduction of the taskbar in [[Windows 95]], minimized windows were represented by icons on the desktop. In [[Windows 1.0]], all open windows tile the screen, while minimized (iconified) windows are shown as icons in the lower part of the screen. The icon area also expands in height if more windows are open than could fit in the area, thus making sure all windows are always accessible unless a single window is maximized (zoomed). The introduction of overlapping windows in [[Windows 2.0]] meant that windows, including minimized window icons could now be covered by any other window, which was later found to result in many users ending up losing track of their open applications, only to launch yet another instance of them, eventually running out of available memory. The rising popularity of [[Windows 3.0]] and [[Windows 3.1]], neither of which did not address the usability issues, lead Microsoft to search for a solution.
