Windows 10: How to decrease the smallest height of taskbar?

I use my taskbar on my left side of the notebook (it is a surface device) because it eats up less space while drawing or writing.
The thing is that even if I am using the "small icons" option, the taskbar is still a little bit too large. So I'm asking: is there a way to reduce the smallest height of the taskbar?

Weird Taskbar Orientation

tdemeola,

Welcome to the forum!

It is hard to tell the orientation of the TaskBar in the capture...

• However, to decrease the height of the TaskBar, right-click on its empty area, and uncheck: Lock taskbar (if checked)
• Place the mouse pointer at the top edge of the TaskBar until the pointer changes into a double-headed arrow.
• Drag the TaskBar toward the bottom of the screen to decrease the height.
• Lock the TaskBar by right-clicking on its empty area, and check: Lock the TaskBar

Hope this helps!

 

Taskbar height/width on the side

I'm using small taskbar buttons and that option changes height only if location of taskbar is bottom or top.

However, thank for answer!

 

Taskbar will not increase or decrease height, even when unlocked

I thought one could make the taskbar shorter or taller in Windows 10. But even with taskbar unlocked, when I move the cursor over the taskbar and get the double arrow, I cannot either lift or lower it.

Any suggestions?
