Windows Vista and Windows 7 taskbar pixel size comparison

One of the most attractive new features of Windows 7 is the Super Taskbar, SuperBar, but the powerful screen size seems to be a bit larger, and for small display users, the available space is slightly more A little nervous. Next, we will specifically compare the pixel dimensions of the Windows Vista and Windows 7 taskbars. Windows 7 also has two modes: small icon and large icon. Both systems set the IE and Notepad icons in both the Quick Launch bar, and both Firefox and Calculator are enabled and the title is enabled on the taskbar button.

Under Vista, the horizontal size of the start button, quick launch bar, and program buttons are 60 pixels, 21 pixels, and 158 pixels, respectively, for a total of 449 pixels; in Windows 7 small icon mode, the start button is reduced to 52 pixels, fast. The launch bar reached 44 pixels, while the program button increased slightly to 160 pixels, the total length of 473 pixels, increased by 24 pixels (5.3%); replaced by the large icon mode, the start button is still 52 pixels, the quick launch bar further occupied 60 pixels, the program button is still 160 pixels, a total of 505 pixels, 56 pixels (12.5%) more than Vista.

Obviously, the quick launch bar is the culprit to swallow the available space. Windows 7 is two or three times smaller than Vista, and the start button is smaller, and the 2 pixels of the program button increase can be ignored.

As for the height, the Vista and Windows 7 small icon modes are 30 pixels, and the Windows 7 large icon mode is 40 pixels, which is a one-third increase.

To put it simply, if you want to save the taskbar space in Windows 7, just set it to the small icon mode, reduce the quick launch bar icon, or simply cancel it. The program button has no effect, and the start button will stay. The next 8 pixels. Of course, there is still a trick, the program button only shows the icon, not the title is more streamlined.
