Thinner Taskbar in SKS?

from Stardock Forums

Hey everybody, 

Is it possible to create a thinner taskbar (22 pixel) in SKS than the custom Windows 7 one? If yes, how does it work?

In short, yes.

I think you can create a taskbar at any size. It's just a matter of how the taskbar buttons fit on that bar.

In W7, to get a shorter taskbar (default 30 px), right-click on  the taskbar and choose properties. Make sure that the checkbox for "Use small icons" is checked, and the field for "Taskbar buttons" is set to "Never combine."

So if I made a 22 pixel taskbar in Skinstudio and In W7 it is still fat, I just have to check Small Icons and Never combine?

make sure you also reduce the startbutton, buttons size and as well the "content margin"/"text margin" of every single buttons in you taskbar (that also includes the content margin of the systray as well)

Ok thank you, 

One more thing: Is it possible to make a transparent taskbar too? Maybe kind of a stupid question :S

Hi Roman, it is possible, just make you graphic transparent and mark the checkbox "This image uses transparency", on SkinStudio.
