Thank you, however as per my original post, I have already tried changing the margins on the horizontal taskbar buttons' text. Neither the margins in the "Painting" tab nor the "Text" tab appear to have any affect on lowering the taskbar size. Even if they did affect the taskbar height, I'm not sure how to use them to set a specific height in pixels on the taskbar.
Windows 10. Using WindowBlinds/SkinStudio/Start11. I have triple-checked that all my taskbar images are 30px high, but the taskbar keeps making itself ~43px high (higher with small-icons disabled). The Taskbar Buttons scale up to the right size, but the start-button remains 30px, giving it a lot of space on top and bottom. I've tried every variant of the margin-painting to no effect. I googled around, and the only advice I can find is from before 2004, suggesting setting the text-
Oh, good point, I forgot this was the Start11 section, thank you!

I would like to override a WindowBlinds skin's taskbar with a texture of my own, but when a WindowBlinds skin is in use the only option is "Using WindowBlinds Skin". If this is not possible - is there at least a way I can FORCE the system-tray icons and date to be black? I have tried every combination of light/dark/custom modes, the accent-color toggles within WindowBlinds, and the 'disable small taskbar icons' trick. Some tray icons are black, some are white - the clock is always
