Then what do you need a taskbar for anyway? It is actually hardly
being used. Only to switch workspaces (but that could be done from
the workspaces menu!) and for date/time (but you could just give the
"date" command in a terminal or use some other date/time icon).

If you do have the toolbar why not add some (slight) functionality?
And this need not disturb extreem minimalists if 1) it is a compile
time option, and 2) does not add excessively to the code base.

I didn't say it caused problems. Just that an extra option to the
blackbox styles settings would be more elegant and slightly easier
for some users.
(And again if this was a compile time option it need not disturb
 extreem minimalists very much if it could be done without expanding
 the code unreasonably).
