The Windows Taskbar is a community effort to make a taskbar stylized as windows at the bottom of the r/place canvas. The Taskbar Community combined with lots of other smaller communities, reserving spaces for them in the taskbar. The originals, such as osu! and r/placeNL, were allowed full-sized taskbar applications. However, most later additions were only allocated square icons due to the growing number of applications. It was originally planned to be a Windows 98 taskbar, as it was in 2017, but with the addition of new colors and a wider canvas a Windows XP taskbar was chosen instead.

Creation
At the start of r/place 2022, there was no resemblance of the start menu. The bottom left corner was originally planned to be the starting point, but the swarm of Among Us characters prevented them from forming it.
At around 5:00pm on the 2nd April, following The First Expansion, the Windows 98 Logo began to form and the beginning of the start button was formed. The logo and text were finished, albeit not perfect, and the Code Lyoko Eye of X.A.N.A was added to the right as a button. However, mere minutes later, the Twitch streamer Kamet0 suggested to his ~50,000 viewers to place his logo in the same corner. This resulted in the entire area being blue within seconds, causing the taskbar team to reconvene.
The moderation team of their discord server was predicting The Second Expansion, and suggested that the design be switch to the Windows XP taskbar, since the extra canvas colors would allow it. Shortly after, a prototype template for the new design was published.
