    Custom Size/Shape taskbar


    I'm looking to try and make a custom size and shaped taskbar. My objective is to have a taskbar that isn't the full length of the screen, but has a gap on the end so I can have a permanent sidebar with some things on there that I want...I photoshopped a picture together to demo what I want, notice that the taskbar ends and then the sidebar starts.

    Is it possible? If so, how?

    I don't think that is possible. Besides, the "Show Desktop" control all the way in the right bottom corner would be in the way. Why don't you tweak the Vista sidebar ( Vista Windows Sidebar - Reinstate on Windows 7 ). That is compatible with the taskbar.

    Well, that doesn't acomplish what I want at all, I just don't like it how it covers part of the sidebar but I don't want the sidebar shorter.

    Hmm, any other ideas?

Hi to all. Can we change taskbar icons' size to a specific size other than two default windows defined sizes? Tnx.
my taskbar icons at the default settings are too big for my liking. If I set "use small icons" as my preference, then they are way too small! is there a way to set an icon size somewhere between these 2 settings I'm thinking there MUST be a registry hack that can do this ... many thanks...
