KotaXor Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Windows 7 taskbar doesn’t show text in application buttons, it only show their icons. On the other hand previous Windows versions used to show icon as well as text in all application’s taskbar buttons.Actually Windows 7 new iconized taskbar feature looks good and it also saves space in taskbar area.Here is a .reg file, just copy into notepad and save it as a .reg file, double click to import to registry:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]"MinWidth"="-255" reboot for it to take effect! Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HATE9X Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 it's nice looking i bet, but when it comes to a situation when you have lots of folders open.. then try to differentiate between them..i'd still like to see how it'd look like on my pc, but i'm too lazy.. :D maybe l8r..

Some might like it, some may not. Usually there is a pop up to show the files when you move your cursor to the taskbar's icon, but you need to install another program to have this pop up.I will try I to get it!

Kinda defeats the purpose doesnt it?Use Visualtooltip with this! Hover your mouse over the icon will show the pops up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
