My taskbar is odd

    The icons and characters are much bigger than before.
    Restarting the pc doesn't work.

    The rest is all fine, just the task bar at the bottom of the screen is oddly big!?!?!

    Think of it as an enhancement, rather than an annoyance. :)

    Can you post a screenshot?

    Would be fun to look at!

    You probably moved it accidentally.

    Not sure if this will work, give it a try though..
    Get onto the desktop (where all your icons are)
    Right click > Properties > Appearance > Font Size

    If it says something above normal, change it to normal and that may do it.

    did you change the screen resolution recently...
    if yes, that is the cause.
    i would prefer 1024x768 with 72hz refresh rate.
    it works for me finely...

    Right click on the taskbar and you will get many options to tweak it to your satisfaction.

    It's not particularly funny to look at, just disturbing that it changed on its own and it steals a little bit of useful space.

    It wasn't moved, it's in the same spot.

    Font size shows as normal.

    The resolution wasn't changed, it's the same as usual.

    A right click doesn't give me any options that can help.

    It's like someone somehow altered the resolution for the taskbar only!!!???

    Anybody?

    Thanks!

    :)

    Thanks kanore, but i never altered the settings, and i checked them already, they are already small.

    There are 3 options, I have the smallest, so I can't do anything there. BTW c0ldmax suggested that already.

    Thanks!
