Option to resize taskbar below 40px? #6

Hi any way to make the taskbar really small below 40 px, like 28 px on WinXShell?

Explorer-New of reactos also shows an huge tsakbar on windows 11 before crashing.

Or alternatively make the desktop size bigger, so that i could load retrobar on top of WinXShell. It is a lot faster than 11 explorer. Just the size issue is a bit, well the taskbar is to huge. Any way to scale it down? Looked at the source code but didnt find any hint. The old explorer from reactos has smaller taskbar but is very buggy and breaks the desktop somehow.

Resize_taskbar app that would run on windows 7/xp works partially vut it just crops the taskbar in a way that its splitted and the top part is still to high.

WinXShell.jcfg has the height and icon settings, try to change the smallicon be true and height be 28 as you wish.

  "JS_TASKBAR": {
    "visible": true,
    "smallicon": false,
    "thumbnail": true,
    "task_close_button": true,
    "no_task_title": false,
    "userebar": false,
    "theme": "dark",
    "height": 40
  },

Tested but changed nothing. Tried this to resize: https://github.com/m417z/taskbar-resize/blob/master/taskbar_resize.c

It affects it somehow but dies not move it.

On issues 1 ibay770 there is a link to the latest files from tspplus? And they work.
