    Large space between icons on bottom toolbar


    Instead of the icons being right next to each other on my bottom toolbar, there is about a one inch gap between them; anyway to get them to be right next to each other, the way they always have been?

    thanks!

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Taskbar

    The metrics are Ok.

    I found that the bottom padding (1/4 inch gap) appears when you set the Toolbar (in the Taskbar) is set to "Large icons". Right-click Taskbar, uncheck "Lock the taskbar".

    Right-click "Desktop" toolbar (right on the caption), click View > Small icons.

    Lock the taskbar.

  3. Moving toolbars to next to System Tray with Windows 10

    I have two custom toolbars on the Taskbar. With Windows 8.1, they are located in the right corner area just to left of the System Tray icons "up arrow". When I upgraded to Windows 10, there is about a 2 inch space between the toolbars and the System Tray
    icons "up arrow". How can I move the toolbars right next to the System Tray icons "up arrow" and not waste that space on the Taskbar?

    Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

    Hi
    Have you tried to move the taskbar to the left or right side of the screen. Or the top? Right click the taskbar and click on unlock it. Grab it by clicking on it and holding down the mouse button, move it. Grab the icons and switch the order of them.

    I cant grab it because there arent any "open" spaces on it to grab..every single inch has something on it..

  6. just a thought, but if you have wide spaces, has tablet mode been accidentally turned on from the notification centre

    Try changing the taskbar settings in the settings app, e.g. make the icon smaller so you can follow Charlie's instructions.

    actually, I fixed it by removing every icon from the tastbar, shutting down completely, then rebooting..I re-added the shortcuts one by one, and now its back to normal!
    thanks for your suggestions!
