    2 Row Taskbar Items Don't Line Up


    Hey guys, I have a very annoying problem that probably has an easy fix that I just can't figure out. I have to select the option to "Never Combine" taskbar items.

    So when I have it set on 2 rows, they do not line up. They always lined up in XP and I'm sure its an easy fix, I mean it has to be why would they change something for the worse right?

    Thanks all!

    It happens on my copy if I select never combine - but that's because the pinned icons force an offset of a different size.

    Try it without any pinned icons to see if that helps.

    Just really weird why they would change something for the worse from XP it just doesn't make any sense to me.

    Well, for starters, you're not going to have this problems if you switch back to the default Windows theme (preferably with Aero turned on). From your screenshot, you're on Classic, which doesn't work very well with the newer features of Windows 7 Taskbar...

    Because that is not the way the taskbar is intended to be used. Yes, it's an option, but not the ideal one.

    Oh ok so where is the option I can't find how to get the taskbar to display normally like it XP so everything is lined up...

    I obviously don't like the new taskbar or aero or I would be using it already obviously.
