Larger and no-shiny taskbar icons
Hi guys,
1. What I am looking for is to make my taskbar set to "Use small icons". But using the default setting from right clicking on the taskbar -> Properties -> Use small icons, does make the taskbar smaller as I want, but the icons are way too small I cannot see clearly on my taskbar.
What I am talking about is to have the actual size of the icon to be bigger, occupying more space rather than having some space around it; and I am not talking about the MinWidth trick. Is there anyway to do that via registry or even third party?
2. I don't like the shiny way Windows 7's taskbar is. XP was great to just show clearly what is written there with minimal effect on mouse hover. Is there anyway to do so? By the way, the following three tricks did not work for me (or people out there are talking about something else!): [1] [2] and [3]
What I am talking about is the glossy look that the taskbar icons have by default with some white strips around. Or when you hover the mouse, the white strips change a bit. I want all removed, something like XP.
PS:
1. I don't want to use Classic Theme
2. I have already tried third party custom themes like Luna XP for windows 7 or others, but they all tend to change so many styles and start menu features that I won't need.
All I want is to have an option to remove the shiny look and get bigger icons on the taskbar!
Regards,
Ali.
