    Quick Launch taskbar: small is too small, large is too large


    I am quite reluctantly forced to move down to the unfriendly UI of Windows 10 from Windows 7. I have enabled the Quick Launch toolbar, and have added the shortcuts I normally use there. The trouble is, the size of the icons is not consistent with the rest of the taskbar. The View>Small setting is too small, and Large is too large, and it just looks like Microsoft paid no attention.


    Is there a way to make the icons on the Quick Launch toolbar the same size as other icons on the taskbar?

    :)

    System Tray Icons Showing Small Even When Taskbar Set To Large

    I don`t think that will help, I`m pretty sure the notification icons are always small.

    I think it would be senseless to have those Icons be large anyway, as you rarely use them. Not to say that you don`t use them for gaming or bench marking etc.

    For example, If you wanted your MSI Afterburner or Corsair Link icon to be large, you could easily do that by simply adding it to the taskbar and removing it from the notification area.

    But you would soon run out of room on the taskbar.

    As far as the System icons go, I see no setting to change their size, just the ability to turn them on or off.

    There may be something here that might interest you.

    Small icons setting won't change

    I suggest that you change or uncheck Use small taskbar buttons by following the steps below:

    • Right-click the Taskbar.
    • Select Properties.
    • In the Taskbar tab make sure that Use small taskbar is
      uncheck
      .

    • Click Apply and OK.
    If the issue still persists, you can change the size of desktop icons.

    • Right-click an empty space on the desktop.
    • Select View and choose either Large, Medium or Small icons.
    • Check if you can change the size of the taskbar button.
    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.
