Dedicated to users who are continuously looking for ways to customize their operating system, Separator is a lightweight tool that gives you the possibility to delimit the icons of programs displayed on the taskbar.
Set separators between the taskbar icons to prioritize tasks
This can prove to be an efficient way of dividing your personal and professional utilities while multi-tasking, by simply placing visual cues to figure out programs with high and low priority, for example.
Just download and run the .exe file
The application's not packed in a setup kit. Instead, it keeps all its settings inside its executable file that can be double-clicked to launch it.You can also store Separator on a thumb drive to directly run it on any PC while keeping in mind that it doesn't make changes to the system registry by adding new entries.
Cannot work standalone
However, the utility's not completely portable because it cannot work standalone. While the developer provides the delimiter sign | for the taskbar shortcuts, it can only be used on a vertical taskbar and alongside a third-party program that forces Windows to allow the re-arranging of taskbar apps.
Set separators in your taskbar using another app
The main app window doesn't have any value aside from the fact that it activates the delimiter sign once launched. Other than that, it just shows a brief description of the product as well as a huge button for quitting to the desktop.
Unimpressive OS customization tool with little value
Taking everything into account, we fail to see the purpose of Separator, since there are many other all-in-one programs that enable you to personalize the taskbar and taskbar icons in numerous ways without resorting to other software solutions.The software project hasn't received updates for a long time and it seems to be discontinued, so it won't get updated anymore.
