Windows Vista vs. windows 7 taskbar pixel dimensions

One of the most attractive new features of Windows 7 is the Super taskbar "SuperBar", but the powerful footprint of the screen also seems to be a bit larger, and the available space is slightly more stressful for small-size display users. Next, we will compare the pixel dimensions of Windows Vista and Windows 7 taskbar, where Windows 7 also has small icons and large icons in both modes. Under both systems, the IE and Notepad two icons are set in the Quick Launch bar, while Firefox and calculator two programs are turned on and the caption is enabled on the taskbar button.

In Vista, the Start button, the Quick Launch bar and the program button's horizontal dimensions are 60 pixels, 21 pixels, 158 pixels, total 449 pixels; In Windows 7 small icon mode, the Start button is reduced to 52 pixels, the Quick Launch bar reaches 44 pixels, and the program button increases slightly to 160 pixels, with a total length of 473 pixels, 24 pixels (5.3%), and a large icon mode, the Start button or 52 pixels, The Quick Launch bar occupies a further 60 pixels, and the program button is 160 pixels, totaling 505 pixels, 56 pixels (12.5%) more than Vista.

Obviously, the Quick Launch bar is the culprit for consuming free space, Windows 7 is two or three times times under Vista, and the Start button is smaller, and the 2 pixels of the program button are negligible.

As for height, Vista and Windows 7 Small icon mode are 30 pixels, the Windows 7 Large icon mode is 40 pixels, that is, increased by One-third.

Simply put, you want to save the taskbar space in Windows 7, just set the small icon mode, reduce the Quick Launch bar icon or simply cancel it, the program button basically has no effect, the Start button will leave more than 8 pixels. Of course there is a trick, the program button only displays the icon, does not show the title is more streamlined.
