Cooler Superbar [Mini-TuT] - Viciousness - 10-23-2009
Hey guys,
Most of you probably already know this but you can make the Windows 7 Superbar smaller. It looks a lot more attractive in my opinion and makes things a little tidier.
Before:

After:

1. Right click the Taskbar
2. Choose Properties
3. Check Use Small Icons.
4. Click Apply
It's that simple.
It depends on your preference I suppose but I really do prefer the smaller version. Try it out for yourself.

I think the smaller icons would look better, you know on Windows 7 can you have the task bar the same as xp or vista in the themes settings? I've never used 7 before hence why i am asking.

Yep, you can. Just go to properties and change taskbar buttons to "never combine".

Are you sure you didn't just make the picture smaller?
It looks out of proportion! But thank you, I could never figure out how to do it!

It looks funny at first but it's quite attractive.
I also moved my taskbar to top and set it to autohide and removed the status bar on my browser and re-sized the browser to fit the whole screen.

I'm using Windows 7, but I prefer the Vista look of the taskbar.
So, I customized it to my liking.

Agreed. Smaller icons look way better.
