    How can I reduce the width of the taskbar buttons while they're never combined?


    I think I have to change something on Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics; but what? I just want them to be a bit smaller in width.

    I found something to make the buttons bigger, but not smaller.

  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.

    How can I reduce the width of the taskbar buttons while they're never combined?

    Problem with a combine taskbar icons.

    Hello,

    In Windows 10, you can personalize the settings of your taskbar. If there are multiple applications opened, same applications will be combined under one taskbar button. If you want to change this setting, we suggest that you follow the steps listed below:

    • Press the Start button.
    • Click on the Settings app.
    • Select Personalization.
    • At the left side of your window, click on Taskbar.
    • Under Combine taskbar buttons, choose Never.

    Kindly update us with the results and if you have further queries, feel free to post back.
