The Minimize , Maximize/Restore and Close Taskbar buttons are sometimes too small to rapidly select them, or too big, and take up a lot of space.It Aloso sometimes looks Ugly .Here’s a trick how to make them look cool
This Windows 9x/ME Registry tweak makes them long and slim, preserving the open program’s Taskbar icon (graphic), while forcing its title (text) to disappear.U can also customize The Size u want for the “Minimize, Maximize/Restore and Close Taskbar buttons ‘
For Doin So Open Regedit and go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
Double-click the “CaptionWidth“ String value and change the number to 50. Then double-click the “CaptionHeight“ String value and change the number to -210. This works great on a screen resolution of 1024×768, with Small Fonts of size 7.
If your screen resolution is 800×600, make “CaptionWidth” 40 and “CaptionHeight” -165, and use Small Fonts size 6.
You can alter the size of the scroll buttons in the same manner by changing “ScrollHeight“ [String value] to -330 and “ScrollWidth“ [String value] to -135 in a resolution of 800×600.
Similarly set “ScrollHeight“ to -330 and “ScrollWidth“ to -165 if using a 1024×768 resolution.
ADD-ON: Depending on your particular program’s Title Bar size, you can also tweak the “MinWidth“ setting for more control over the size of your minimized programs’ Taskbar buttons.
Title Bar size can be (re)adjusted from Control Panel -> Display -> Appearance tab -> Scheme -> Active Title Bar -> increase/decrease the number in the Size box.
Run Regedit, go to the same Registry subkey used above, and modify the “MinWidth“ String value to read:
- -285 if Title Bar size is 18.
- -300 if Title Bar size is 19.
- -315 if Title Bar size is 20.
