How can i change Taskbar height

[Acidwarlord]

Hi,

yesterday i found this taskbar:

(look how big the programmtabs are, the shortcuts are small and systemicons and time are 2 lines, thats what i want )

Normally i have 1 Line for programmtabs, systemicons and time

if i unlock the taskbar and put it one up, i get 2lines for programmtabs, 3 for systemicons and time..

But thats to big, so how do i get the mix???? :D

I know, that i can make the shortcuts(fast start buttons sry german :/ ) to Big symbols, but i wont use the shortcuts...

Thx for help ^^

You want to have two lines or have one line but a big taskbar size? The trick to change taskbar size (make it bigger or smaller) is the same as XP. You need to change the top and bottom content marging of the Taskbar Flash Button, Taskbar Buttons and Tray. A number bigger than 4 will make the taskbar bigger than default size, smaller than 4 will make the taskbar smaller.

Ah okay....

Ehh.. 1Line but increased height for the Programms.. im looking for the height that makes 2lines of systemicons on the right.

Where can i change these values? Do i hace to change the size of the start-button, if i understand right?

I use Ave's Vista Style Builder to create Vista themes http://vistastylebuilder.com/

On that program you need to change the top and bottom values of content margins (CONTENTMARGINS:MARGINS 0, 0, 4, 4) The bold numbers.

These are the places you need to change

Taskbar & Tray Notify > Taskbar > Basic > Toolbar > Button

Taskbar & Tray Notify > Taskbar > Basic > Toolbar > DropDown

Taskbar & Tray Notify > Taskband > Taskbarnd > FlashButton

Taskbar & Tray Notify > Taskband > Toolbar > Button

Taskbar & Tray Notify > Taskband > Toolbar > DropDown

Taskbar & Tray Notify > Tray Notify > Basic > Horizontal > TrayNotify > Background

You can edit msstyles with Restorator and editing hex number and stuff but I don't know how to do that.
