Windows 11 Gets Resizable Taskbar Icons!
2025-04-04
Microsoft is testing resizable taskbar icons in the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Beta. Users can now choose to always show smaller icons, never show smaller icons, or show smaller icons when the taskbar is full. When full, icons shrink to fit, preventing overflow into a secondary menu. This mimics macOS's dock behavior. The Start menu also received an update with a larger layout, offering the option to hide recently used app suggestions and display all apps on one page. Note: users might temporarily lose the new battery charge status icons introduced in January, but Microsoft plans to reinstate them soon.
