The taskbar in Windows 7 can be configured in many ways that will dramatically change the look and style. In my last article I talked about the many looks of the taskbar and now I am going to show you how to customize the looks.

One easy way to save screen space is to turn on small Icons which will shrink the height of the taskbar but keep the new program combining features (no text displayed & program grouping) enabled.

Right click on the taskbar and select Properties
Then, on the taskbar tab check Use small icons and hit OK.

I am also using small icons, it saves me a lot of valuable space.
