- Do I need a XENEON EDGE to use the Taskbar widget?
- No. EdgeOS runs on any monitor on Windows 10 or 11, and on the CORSAIR XENEON EDGE in Desktop Mode or, inside iCUE, in Widget Mode.
- What can I change on the Taskbar widget?
- 34 options, such as show, apps, apps' own looks and leave out edgeos's own windows. They're grouped as apps, bar, icons, indicators and menu. Every widget also takes your own font, text size and look.
- Can I move or hide parts of the Taskbar widget?
- Yes. Its parts (icons, names, window count, menus and messages) can each be resized, restyled or hidden under Customize → Layout.
