Windhawk mod: Taskbar notification icon spacing
This mod has been on my list for a while. I think the default spacing is just huge.
Back in Windows XP, there were 2 pixels between each tray icon. It was increased to 8 in Windows 7, and then to 16 in newer Windows 11 versions. I think that 8 is fine but 16 is just too much for a desktop computer.
You can get the Taskbar notification icon spacing mod here.
Enjoy, and let me know if you encounter any problems.
Hi Michael,
The tray icon spacing doesn’t change when entering different values in the “Tray Icon Width” field and pressing [Save Settings]. Is there anything specific to be done like restarting explorer or so? I’m using Explorer Patcher and Open-Shell Menu, could they interfere with the mod?
Hi,
The mod only works with the Windows 11 taskbar. ExplorerPatcher allows to choose between the Windows 10 taskbar and the Windows 11 taskbar. It won’t work if you choose to use the Windows 10 taskbar.
