Will this ever be fixed?

Three different elements with padding and spacing all over the place, thus it looks messy. I'd give my right testicle to have everything nicely aligned, maybe in Win 8 eh?

It looks fine, it's probably because you're using small icons and/or using quick launch which isn't an intended/supported feature of Windows 7.

It was the same in Vista - vertical taskbar ergonomics don't seem to be high on MS's list, although you'd think that by 7 versions that would have gotten around to it by now.

I had the same issue and it annoyed me also. I think we must be a bit OCD.

I fixed it by making the super bar a few pixels wider so 3 icons fit on 1 row in both the system tray and quick launch.

Now everything lines up :)

Use big icons and drop the quick launch like the superbar is designed to work, and everything is center aligned and fits just fine.

They're not gonna fix the alignment of an unsupported hack to use a deprecated feature that's been replaced by a new more powerful feature that does the same and more.

Why not file a bug report :)

Because it's not a bug :)

He's done something to his Windows 7 installation to get a 'quick launch' bar back. The 'quick launch' bar is not included in Windows 7 because they have implemented that functionality in a much better way.

Without this new, 'quick launch' bar thing, the padding should be perfect (or maybe a little wider with 'small icons', I don't know). Why not try taking your 'quick launch' bar out, 08993? It shouldn't be there and yet you are complaining that Microsoft won't fix it? Why fix something that didn't look nice in Windows Vista when it isn't even included in Windows 7?

But it was the same in Vista - only worse because all you has was quicklaunch.

And anyway, the pixels are off, there is more space to the left of the orb than to the right as with the tray icons :)

I'm just sayin' lots of people like a well groomed desktop and MS don't help matters when they can't even align elements correctly.

I think that's because it includes the border of the bar when choosing the positioning. Notice how the active applications take up the full width.
