Windowblinds on Windows 7 taskbar height really big

Thursday, April 24, 2014 by Tuddley | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I just started using Windowblinds on my dad's laptop which has Win7 OS. I installed a new skin (Armada Black) that caused the taskbar to get really big. If I move the taskbar to the top of the screen, it goes back to it's original height, and goes big again when I put it back on the bottom. Also you can see there is 2 rows of system tray icons instead of 1 row. I tried to take a screenshot of it, but had to do it in sections because Photobie wouldn't capture the entire screen. So here is my doctored screenshot...

You would need to contact the skins author, it is probably a setting in the skin that needs changed.

 

EDIT: Actually, I just look at the skin and it is purposely designed with a tall taskbar, why it goes shorter at the top I have no idea as it stays the same height here. Also, it is only designed for Windows XP.

Ok thanks. I'll have to set the search filter for Win7 when searching for new themes. I was able to fix my problem by deleting the ones I downloaded that weren't Win7 compatible and restarted my computer after selecting a default Aero theme.
