Why does Windows 7 System Tray do this?

What icon? The SB volume control one? - Nice joke about the ginger thing though (brown hair thx :) )
 
Yeah it's considerably bigger than the rest - surely you don't need it there, to launch the CPL just hit WINKEY and begin typing the first 3 letters of it and ENTER.

Edit, Joke?!

Right click taskbar, choose properties, customize, tick always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar = stop your whinging! :p
 
Not winging, I was asking. Lol I'm showing all icons an take a look at what's happened!

wtf.png
 
Someone said just show all the icons blah... so I did, an theres that hoofin great gap at the bottom again lolz.
 
That's twice now... how can nobody understand this? I'm saying, slide another ICON up, and flatten the bottom ones together. Basically just reversing what is going on except at the top not the bottom.

Click to expand...

I know what you're meaning but that's not how windows handles the icons. Apart from anything else you don't seem to grasp that you don't need half of those icons visible all the time anyway! :p
 
lol edit my wallpaper, tht made me chuckle... yeah windows handles it in a stupid manner. Surprisingly enough if you extend the bar on the bottom section and widen it, it does the exact same thing.

I've turned my icons off anyway I only had 4-5 icons there originally, doesn't matter which ones it continues to do it anyway. Just fancied a change on my desktop, jus messin about seeing how Windows 7 handles stuff... guess it doesn't do to well on icon placement. Or icons as a whole for that matter, seeing as moving my bar results in them disappearing. Forcing me to end explorer and restart it. :)
 
If you increase the height of your icon area and change the preview to "combine when full" you won't have the issue. It's the preview window icons that are causing the bar to be double width in the first place :)
 
I was using double width at the bottom as an example... will this work with the sidebar too?
 
From time to time it has flattened, with a low level of icons, i.e 4. But when theres more... say, 5, 6, 7, it messes up an leaves a gap there.

Might just leave it at the bottom... tis kinda too familiar bein at the bottom, but im k with it. Just still don't understand why the icons must arrange like that... even at the bottom as well when you widen the bar. :) Check for yourselves
