Do you like to change taskbar size? let me know in comments below.

[CesareVesdani]

The Taskbar should be customizable in the new build of Windows 11.

Brian, I appreciate your videos and advice. I also wish to give my utmost condolences for your loss and hope that comfort comes to you and your family.

Just finished setting up my Windows 11 taskbar with Windhawk and it's GREAT! I only used 3 mods which were perfect for me. 1) Resizing the Taskbar. 2) Disabled Grouping. 3) Closing open folders and programs using the middle mouse button.

What's even better is, I added Windhawk to Task Scheduler to run at Startup with highest privileges and to run whether logged on or not. Now when I start my computer the mods are injected even before logging on.

And get this! By adding *-exit [-wait]* to the Shortcut's Target box, Windhawk will load at Startup and quietly exit in the background *after loading the mods.* It's like Windhawk is there and not there at the same time. 😉👍

Thanks man, for the video. My biggest issue with windows 11 so far was actually the taskbar size, that you couldn't make it smaller anymore and even the registry edit didn't work anymore. So for a while I was using Start 11, which does give you the option to make it smaller, but I had various issues with the software. So now I just typed in "windows 11 taskbar smaller" on Youtube agian, sorted by upload date, to see if a new "trick" came up. And this here is PERFECT. Hopefully Windhawk won't make any problems over time, but so far it works great!

Thanks for all your fantastic Video's Brian, and don't bother all those negative people or comments, a dutch proverb (translated for you) is "one ear in, one ear out". Keep having fun making your great tutorials, many people can learn about those and you do a great job in the way you explain a lot of things in a very clear way, that is a gift not all the people own, maybe some comments will feels to be negative but it's about the way the comment are written and may be not meant to be negative, just filter the comments you like (people who explain their way of doing things, 'there are many ways to approach Rome') and whose you don't and just ignore them. So keep up the good work on your fantastic tutorials, I like them! 👍

It is stupid that this is not possible in Windows 11. In Linux Mint you can adjust this by defaukt.

[RomanM-pqev]

Thanks, perfect app. I finally managed to reduce the size of the Windows 11 panel, because on the latest version it no longer works through the registry. Thanks :)) 👍

[MrJCMG]

Thank you so much. I have been looking for something like this for ages. I had a mod earlier that could do this but then my laptop broke and when I got it repaired the mod no longer worked. This makes such a difference to my focus because I found the big icons in the task bar so distracting.

[johnpedersen]

I don't change it for the size. I change it for funktionallity so that I can get all the settings that i had in Windows 10. I use Explorer Patcher from Github. Rightclick context menu can alsow be fixed, and let the taskbar not combinding icons. I love that program.

[ncironhorse]

Thank you. The regedit did not work. This did and restored my sanity to resize the taskbar.

[ankitssinghvi]

Guys. This one works. That registry editor doesn't. Thanks a lot mate!

[inxept]

FINALLY something that actually works! Thanks a lot! :)

[mda]

I know how to put an icon on to the taskbar but how can I put an icon from the taskbar in to the 'hidden icons' behind the up arrow icon? Yes, it works for the 'expanded' section on the right-hand side but not those on the left or in the centre. I've looked in the Taskbar Notification area but the icon I want is not listed.

[arijithalder]

Hi... I'm facing a problem with windhawk. After any windows update it stopped working. Takabar icons becomes big. Then all of a sudden its solves automatically. Is there any way to do it manually?

[lorenakademar]

I was expecting a customization using the own windows tools not a third party sw....anyway...thank for your videos and tips!!

[mikelock-zrru]

Don't hate the playa. Hate the game. Thank you very much.

[TheElectronicDilettante]

That’s a cool application. To go along with it there are a couple of channels that show some registry hacks that will align the start menu to the left like it was in XP and to get a proper menu when you right click items. Good lookin out with that Key Vendor that sponsors you. I was hesitant to use it but need another pro license and it was painless. Thanks

[eloyam]

thank you, it's working on Windows 22H2 22621.2428

[AlEx-cley]

What a Gamechanger - Finally i got rid off the ugly big Taskbar. Thank you Buddy! 😉
