How to reduce spacing between icons in the taskbar?


Have my Win10 taskbar on the right side. Set small icons for the task bar.
Is there a way to reduce the space between the icons in the taskbar so I can see more icons?

Hi, not seen anything on that.. yet..

1. Save space:
You can remove things from the taskbar to create space. I assume with the taskbar on the right, you've disabled the Cortana search box already, for example. More here:

2: Increase space available:
Note the idea of increasing the taskbar's size "Resize the taskbar"

Thanks for taking the time to help. I previously saw the link you posted and hid the search and task view icons. That helps. I was just hoping there's a way to decrease the spacing between the taskbar icons to have more icons without that "switch" button appearing and some icons going on to an extended taskbar when I open several programs.

For now, I created a quick launch toolbar to store some less used icons to make space. But I hope someone figures out a way to decrease the spacing of the icons on the taskbar though.

Thanks!

Hi, rather than try to fill your taskbar with icons, when programs you launch want to use it, why not
a. Consider a free docked launcher which hides (if you wish) - free, small use of RAM, reliable

STabLauncher
sTabLauncher 2.2.3 free download - Software reviews, downloads, news, free trials, freeware and full commercial software - Downloadcrew

b. Use a good start menu (Classic Shell) - free- correctly expresses a complex start menu with subfolders - which Win 10's doesn't- and has an excellent configurable search field

sTabLauncher is a very interesting task launcher that I have not seen before. Seems like it could be a good solution. I never cared for the animated task launchers that increase the size of icons as the cursor hovers over them or do other animated things, so sTabLauncher looks good since it doesn't appear to do animations. I might give it a try after I get my new Win10 PC all set up. Could save one click that the Win10 quick launcher needs to open.

I already installed the Classic Shell in my Win10 PC since I used it with Win8 before. It's the first thing I do for Windows for myself and my friends, since Win8. It's a great program. One really nice thing it does for Win10 is it allows getting back the light gray color for the taskbar which is not available in Win10.

Thanks for your very nice suggestions,
mck
