    Taskbar notification area icon spacing


    Hi all!

    Is it possible somehow to modify the vertical spacing
    of the icons in the notification area (systray) ?

    I set my taskbar height bigger than the default,
    so my icons are placed into more rows:


    If I place the taskbar to the left or right side of the screen,
    the icon spacing is somehow became normal.
    (But I don't want to use it placed like this)


    So what this depends on?
    Is it a thing that can be modified by editing msstyles,
    or is there a registry key for this? Or something?

Taskbar icon spacing
in Installation & Setup

Under Vista I had 6 or so icons in the Taskbar at the lower left. The icons were nestled together in a tight bunch--out of the way. However, under W7 and using small icons in the Taskbar, the OS seems to be placing open space borders on each side of each icon resulting in a relatively huge...
