I cant seem to work out which way I like my taskbar set... How do you have it?
Large or small icons?
Single or double height?
Combine or never combine?

Hey there,

I currently have the following setup:

Small Icons
Single Height
Combine (no labels)
Maximum Transparency (I messed around with the color settings until I could barely see the "bare" parts of the taskbar and left it there )....

black with a little transparency

and I got my taskbar on the right side of the screen. takes a little getting used to but then works really great! since I have a widescreen display (like most people I guess) I find the screen to be used better that way - you have more space for your applications.
