Frequently asked questions
Is lumabar a Windows taskbar alternative?
Yes. lumabar is a live dock that can sit beside the Windows taskbar or replace it: set the taskbar to auto-hide (the default) or hide it completely while the dock is open, and it comes back the moment you close lumabar.
Can I put the taskbar at the top of the screen in Windows 11?
Windows 11 no longer lets you move the taskbar to the top. lumabar does: drag the dock to the top edge of the screen and it snaps there, with its panels opening downward - a top taskbar for Windows, much like the menu bar on a Mac.
Does lumabar work on Windows 10?
Yes. lumabar runs on both Windows 11 and Windows 10.
What widgets does lumabar include?
74 live widgets: now playing and media controls, todos, notes, calendar, pomodoro, weather, world clocks, CPU, RAM and network charts, battery, quick toggles, an app and folder launcher, search, screenshots, stocks, GitHub, Gmail, and revenue from Stripe, Polar and Dodo.
Is lumabar an alternative to Rainmeter or Windows Widgets?
It covers the same ground without the setup: no skins to download and no config files to edit. Pick widgets from the picker, drag them into place, and they live in the dock instead of floating on the desktop or hiding in the Windows Widgets board.
Does the dock get in the way of games and fullscreen apps?
No. The dock hides itself when a fullscreen app or game covers its monitor and comes back when you leave.
Is lumabar a subscription?
No. lumabar is a one-time payment of $5.99 for a lifetime license key, with updates included and a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Does lumabar collect my data?
No. There is no account and no telemetry. Your widgets, layout, todos and notes are stored on your PC.
