Thin taskbars solved

[Mark Otto]

I solved it...

Would you like to know how I did it?

[zackotronic]

Yes we would!

[Mark Otto]

I had to change like every single bitmap in the taskbar...

The start button is a custom mod of Binarys...took awhile to get it right ;)

[FatCat]

so how would I go about "change like every single bitmap in the taskbar..." maybe to be more exact what tools would I use in photoshop? Crop? Image Resize?

[Mark Otto]

I actually had to remake the start button myself...hit me on MSN or PM and I might be able to send you that Start Button :p.

[redrope]

I just don't understand this Thin Taskbar idea.

Screen resolutions are way higher these days, therefor people's desktops have a hell of a lot more room on them, so why does the taskbar need to be thin??? I think they look really bad being that thin.

I only run 800x600 resolution, and regular Luna taskbar works great for me.

Anyways, so if those numbers work for making a regular taskbar thinner, what numbers would make a thin taskbar thicker?

I almost thing people went overboard on the thin taskbar styles, and there are some nice ones that's for sure, but I won't use thin taskbar so I don't download the styles. If I could change the taskbar to make it the same size as Luna, then maybe I'd use them.

Personally, I love thin because I run my taskbar at double height. A double height regular sized task bar is just way too fat.

The thin taskbars fad has worn off on me but I still think Luna is too fat. Windows classic is about the right size.

And regarding the 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 thing you can keep increasing them to make the taskbar massive.

Open stylebuilder, click import and browse to the .msstyle file. unexpected try this.

[ReLoaD 2K]

Ok, I did it, but how can I adjust my Start Button? Cuz it's getting cutted when I make the taskbar thicker!

I have only to change the archive .bmp or do I have to do something else?

[AdamKnowles]

I recon that i would look a lot better if you use the standard theme with the bitdust2 font. Making it more square and finished.

[Loyen]

Ehm, I got a question, dunno if it's already answered as I've not looked through all the posts. Anyway, I'm trying this on default Luna theme now, new installed style builder as I've reformated my pc. Now, I've changed the content margins top and bottom to 0. Should I now change the height res on those graphical files (bmp/png) to make it work or what?

It's an old thread but about what I want so meh..
