What does taskbar3.dll do?
Taskbar3 is a module that lets you have a taskbar, just like windows does, so you can click on taskbar buttons to switch to a window, minimize it, maximize it, ...
but this time with much more customizations, effects, ...
Taskbar3 is originally a rip from the default litestep taskbar. Hopefully, it has followed its own path since some times.
Some pieces of code were taken from various other modules (in that case, look at the sources), but you can be sure that this module has some tasks.dll code (and ideas) inside.
