Thin taskbars solved


Recommended Posts

i still like using a 2 row taskbar

The bottom row has all the programs that are running like a normal taskbar and the second row is about 12 quicklaunch icons... Also i like to be able to see the date/day/time :)

But this is cool for some themes, thanks!

D'Blade on the DT2 forums gave me exact figures to use to get a thin taskbar. I applied it on a blank Luna base and also a few fat taskbar themes and it's worked on all of them so far.
All top/bottom margins = 0 in the follow categories:

General->Taskband->FlashButton

Taskband->Toolbar

Taskbar->Toolbar

TrayNotifyHoriz->TrayNotify->Background

Thats the figures people.

Here's luna with just those figures modified:

I've also zipped up Luna as a base so people can use that. I always find working off of luna best because there's no/much less bugs then working off of someone elses themes.

Once again, big thanks to D'Blade who finally set it in stone.

What icons are those Daz?

can u do it to the themes of concept or mafia?

You can do it to any theme. Mafia has already been rereleased with a thin taskbar. Concept was thin from the start, oh, and it's finished...

Yeah, you have to "cut down" the start button bmp for it to fit. I did mine in Photoshop takes about 2 minutes.

I resize the button to make it smaller but I see a pink border around the buttton? :wacko:

Thats the Magic Pink color, anything of the pink color will be transparent. Anything not exactly that pink color but even similar will show up so make sure every single pixel is that of the magic pink color.
