Windows 10 Explorer APP

Try this at home: create a new shortcut on your desktop. In the Location field, put this (but without the quotes) - "explorer.exe shell:AppsFolder\c5e2524a-ea46-4f67-841f-6a9465d9d515_cw5n1h2txyewy!App"

Then finish the shortcut.

You could get your taskbar to act this way using only the Windows taskbar settings. I mention this because it establishes, definitively, that such a thing is possible. But in Windows 10 this option is not available anymore. Why? Because fuck you, that's why. Because a lot of their customers want it, and Microsoft has to show them who's the boss. Why do you think that they removed the option to control the background color of application windows? Because fuck you, that's why. Enter 7+ Taskbar Tweaker .
