    How do I make Taskbar icons larger?


    The icons are too small for my old eyes. Can I enlarge them? Thank you.

    Hello Nisko,

    Whoops!!! Everything looks great ay 150% - except the Desktop. I'd like to keep that at 100%. How do I do that? Thank you.

    The only thing I know of that is Taskbar specific, is the large/small icons that @Brink mentioned above (1st link).

    Might test at 125% with large taskbar icons to split the difference to see how that looks.

    Thank you - that works for me. However, I wish the scaling option had infinite selections instead of 125%, 150%, etc. Thanks again!!!

    Agreed. More incremental settings would be nice to have.
