Task bar problem
Thursday, March 20, 2008 by Supernaturalfan | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hello!
I've installed Windows Blinds and started using the Dragon theme, and everything worked great for a week or so until today when I started my computer up, my taskbar is bigger than usual with the icons there are large and pixelated. Restarting doesn't change it, although changing the theme does, but when I change back to the Dragon theme I get stuck with the same large/pixelated icons again. I did use the search option and found a few threads about changing the size of the taskbar, but when I do that I get a smaller taskbar with no icons at all. The list of programs on my start menu is also spaced out wider than the theme orginially had- when I started out using Dragon there was a signifigant blank area after the last program name, now it goes all the way to the bottom.
I tried to attach images for a better description of this but when I click ok nothing happens. Any help on this? I want to keep using this theme. Thanks in advance.

Well, I did a scan disc on start up today and the task bar loaded properly this time around. The start menu programs also looks correct again. It did take longer than usual for the task bar and desktop icons to appear when it loaded this time though (I had nothing but the wallpaper for several seconds) so maybe something on my computer is conflicting with Windows Blinds? I haven't changed any settings since I last posted.

Spoke too soon. I'm back to the pixelated taskbar and icons, if anyone has any ideas.
