Taskbar problems in Windows 7

from WinCustomize Forums

I have run into another glitch skinning parts of Windows 7--specifically, the taskbar.  My taskbar buttons on the left align right...the way I want them.  But, when I add a toolbar to the taskbar, I have problems.  As you can see in the image, the text is clipped, and the button for it is not centered vertically.  This happens no matter which size icons I am using on the taskbar.

Questions:  What buttons are being used for the toolbar on the taskbar...the best I could tell is the quicklaunch button, but when I change the text margins and/or the alignment nothing happens.  Any ideas?

Does anyone out there know how to fix this?  I have spent the past three days trying to get the dang thing to look right!  I do know that the buttons are the quick launch buttons, but I have no clue where the text settings are coming from....certainly not from the quicklaunch buttons!

HELP!

I wish I could help you...One suggestion, change your title so that your fellow skinners know it's a skinning problem.

Hi... jazzymjr

Here are some settings you can try...your buttons try setting at  4,4,5,5 the text at 1,1,0,0

Your mouseover mask at 6,6,6,6 your text at 4,4,1,0

your flashing button at 4,4,5,5 and your quick launch at 16,12,4,3

your text set at 4,4,1,0

 

Hope it helps...

Perhaps the above post should have been a little clearer ;)

 

The word 'Links' will be cut off as the Windows default doesn't play nice. Set the Rebar Gripper text and all should be well.
