If you like to experiment with the look of your computer and are open to making some changes, then you might be interested in changing the style of the taskbar.
For those who are nostalgic for previous versions of Windows, or simply prefer a more classic look, Windows 11 offers the option to customize the taskbar in the style of Windows XP.
This can be a fun and fresh way to give your current operating system a retro touch, while still enjoying the modern features of Windows 11.
Change the Windows 11 taskbar to Windows XP style
To begin download WindHawk to your computer. After downloading, install the app. Once you have installed the app, click the “Browse for mods” button to search for modifications for Windows 11.
Search for:

Click on “Details” to open.
To install Windows 11 taskbar styler, click the “Install” button.
Click “Accept risk and install” to install this taskbar modification.
Once you have installed the modification, you can choose from two fixed themes to change the taskbar style. This is the “Windows XP” and the “Bubbles” style. You will find both in the “Settings”.
Selecting a style for the taskbar will immediately apply the style. Select the desired style in “Theme”.
- Windows XP.
- bubbles.
Confirm by clicking “Save settings”.
The chosen theme will be applied directly to the taskbar. If you have chosen “WinXP” you will see the old retro theme applied to the taskbar.
If you have chosen “Bubbles” you will see this theme, here is an example:
