# Taskbar

The taskbar, the Start menu, and the tray.

The bar along the bottom of every page: the **Start** button, a button for every open window, and the tray with your social links, the sound speaker, the cart and a clock (on phones, just the cart and the clock — the socials and the sound switch move into the Start menu). Find it in the theme editor's sidebar under **Taskbar**. Selecting it opens the Start menu so you can see what you're editing.

| **Start button label**            | Start           | Change it to "Menu" or anything else                                                                                                                                    |
| **Menu**                          | Main menu       | The Start menu's links                                                                                                                                                  |
| **Start menu spine text**         | your store name | The vertical strip down the side of the Start menu                                                                                                                      |
| **Show cart in tray**             | on              | Only while something is in it — an empty cart stays out of the tray, and the icon appears with the first item                                                           |
| **Show clock in tray**            | on              | Shown on phones too, right of the cart; only the very narrowest screens drop it                                                                                         |
| **Show social links in the tray** | on              | The links themselves are set under Theme settings → [Social Media](/exp98-shopify-theme/exp98/theme-settings/social-media.md); on a phone they move into the Start menu |

How the Start button looks — logo, label, or both — is under [Shell](/exp98-shopify-theme/exp98/theme-settings/shell.md#start-button).

## The Start menu

Top to bottom:

1. **Your menu.** Build it in **Content → Menus**. Items with children open as submenus, the way 98's Programs menu did.
2. **Extra links** — Extra link blocks, each with a label, an icon and a link. Handy for one-off links you'd rather not add to your navigation.
3. **Your social profiles** — with one profile set, an entry named for it — *Instagram*. With several, **Socials**, which opens onto each one, like a submenu. (A computer also has them in the tray.)
4. **Favorites** — products the shopper saved with **Add to Favorites** in a product window, with their pictures. Kept on their own browser; *(Empty)* until they save one.
5. **Documents** — the last five products they opened, newest first.
6. **Search** and **Cart** — always there, whatever your menu holds.
7. **Policies** — when you've written at least one policy under **Settings → Policies**. Opens the [Policies](/exp98-shopify-theme/exp98/sections-and-features/policies.md) folder.
8. **Regional Settings** — when your store sells in more than one country or language. A window to pick country (and so currency) and language.
9. **Help** — your FAQ, when the [Help (FAQ)](/exp98-shopify-theme/exp98/sections-and-features/help.md) section is on.
10. **Display** — when **Let shoppers change the colour scheme** is on ([Appearance](/exp98-shopify-theme/exp98/theme-settings/appearance.md)). Opens Display Properties.
11. **Sleep** — starts the [screensaver](/exp98-shopify-theme/exp98/theme-settings/screensaver.md).
12. **Account** — when customer accounts are turned on in your Shopify settings.

## The window buttons

Every open window gets a button on the taskbar. Click it to bring that window to the front, or to bring back a minimised one.
