Windows 7 systray icons too small - look weird
After changing some Windows settings - and then changing them back again - the Windows 7 systray icons (I'm talking about these: ) became smaller, slightly cropped and lost details, like when you resize a small image downwards. Unfortunately I have no screen shot of this. It happened on another computer than the the system specs of my profile are associated with:
ASUS G74 laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium x64, with Windows Aero theme with transparency turned on.
Here's what we did:
(It's hard to guess what everything is called in English (I translated from Swedish), but here's the best I could.)
- Right-click the desktop
- Click Customize
- Click Window color
- Click Advanced appearance settings...
- Click the dropdown list item below Object:
- Choose one of the alternatives listed below
- Change either of the Size: boxes as indicated below
In step 6/7 we chose and changed like this:
Active name bar (item 3) - from 11 to 9
Activity buttons (item 4) - from 26 to 21
Border thickness (item 13) - from 5 to 4
This was done several times and the computer was restarted in between the times sometimes too.
Then we changed all the settings back to what they were from the beginning.
Then the described problem occurred.
How can it be fixed?
