I’ve been annoyed for a long time by the fact that when choosing the option to place the Windows taskbar at the side of the screen instead of the default at the bottom, the width cannot be reduced to an appropriately small size and therefore it wastes space and looks terrible.
I decided to research it today and found a good blog post at sandipchitale.blogspot.com which discusses a really cool little utility called 7+ Taskbar Tweaker which actually allows the taskbar width to be decreased!
Because of wide screens the idea of putting the taskbar at the bottom of the screen doesn’t make sense anymore and just wastes space and makes it more difficult to select items. Finally its possible to have a narrow, vertical taskbar at the side of the screen in Windows 8.
