RetroBar is a nostalgia-inducing little portable app that takes you back in time with classic Windows taskbars.
You get to replace your modern Windows taskbar with the classic Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, or XP style. Ah, simpler times. RetroBar doesn't need a tone of explanation. Unzip and run it. Want to change the theme? Right-click on the taskbar and select properties. It somewhat limits your normal context menu usage, so that is certainly a tradeoff to consider. But you can disable it quickly from the right-click context menu if need be.
RetroBar is just a fun way to change your taskbar with something old... but new.
