    When setting the taskbar buttons to never combine, the buttons are unequal in length, this is very annoying.The length seems to be based on the window tittle length, but when the title changes the width is not always updated, with result in cropped text.Example video of buttons changing their length.There are a few advantages of the buttons being the same lengthFixed width taskbar buttons :predictability: With buttons being the same length, users can develop muscle memory for where specific applications are located on the taskbar, improving efficiency and speed when switching between tasks.Visual Uniformity: Consistent b

  2. How to reduce width of the taskbar buttons?


    Hello,

    This is in reference to this tutorial.

    What I want to do is to reduce the width of the taskbar buttons even further...that is, even shorter width than what's shown as size 38 in that tutorial. I want the buttons in my taskbar to show their respective icons along with only 3-4 characters of text.

    I remember that I accomplished this in my previous Windows installation (Windows 7 (64-bit)), using the same method as discussed in that tutorial with some value (which I can't recall). But somehow, I can't seem to make it happen in Windows 10.

    Some of the values I've tried are: 10, 52,54, 55, 58 and a few more.

    Please suggest a suitable value/method to make it happen in my Windows 10.

    Increase width of Show Desktop button in taskbar

    For some reason the width of the "show desktop" button on the taskbar in win10 has been reduced to a stupid amount meaning it's very difficult to find and click it (I have 2 monitors so I can't just flick over to the bottom left corner).

    How can I increase the width of the "show desktop" button the taskbar so a human can find it?
