Windows 10: How to change width of toolbars

Hi im using DU Meter for showing internet stats as a toolbar, but at 4k resolution the toolbar gets distorted. It does not have enough width, the numbers get cut off.

Does anyone know how to change the size of toolbars? They are called task bands i think but i havent found a way to edit them. Thanks.

This is how it should be:



This is how it is on 4k:

How to change the size / width of my cursor/ insertion line

Thank you for sharing.

No, this is incorrect for the question that was asked:

I found a much simpler method.

1. Open SETTINGS

2. Select EASE OF ACCESS (help for visually and hearing-impaired users)

3. Select MOUSE

4. Select POINTER SIZE.

5. Select largest size. This not only increases the size of the pointer, but also increases the length & width of the cursor.

The question was about making the cursor narrower, not wider.

Also, Windows 10 has made things harder.

Under "Ease of Access", you have to select OTHER OPTIONS.

(That is really self-explanatory --Huh ???)

Finally, you will find a slide-bar for "Cursor Thickness".

If you just go to the Control Panel and do a search for "Cursor", it will never tell you to go here under "Other Options".

A respectable search function would show you Each And Every place that the word "cursor" appears. Get with it, Microsoft!

 

Hello Dusty, *Smile

If you like, you could unlock the taskbar, drag its height up more to what you want, then lock the taskbar when finished.

I wonder if that worked for him.

 

Yeah there i was googling for registry tweaks and band object programming, searching for toolbar width. But i never thought about unlocking the taskbar haha, there was no reason to do it in 10 years until now. I guess i just became an example of overthinking a simple problem.

 

Great news Dusty. I'm glad that was able to help. *Party
