Good news for multitasmers: Microsoft gradually implements the scaling of the taskbar to press as many icons as possible in the latest version of Windows 11 Insider Build

I love me a full taskbar. Give me the option to attach the application that I exploit often, and boy, I will attach many applications. I don’t think I have filled it out for many years, but if it sounds like you, you’ll want to keep an eye on the latest compilation of Windows Insider Canary – yes Microsoft says he is implementing scaling of the taskbar icons To let you squeeze as many as your heart wants.

“Thanks to the scaling of the Task Belt icon, when the taskbar begins to be crowded with pinned or open applications, the icons will automatically fall to a smaller size,” says MS. “This means that you can keep more visible applications and available without the need for diving on the secondary menu. The idea is that your work flow is smoother and more efficient.”

Mmm, delicious performance. MS provided a miniature selection of play settings for this function, so you can configure icons so that they become smaller when they form, remain miniature forever or never become smaller than standard. This should at least at least a few complaints “not on my desktop”.

For now, it only comes to Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27898 – to which I currently have no access, so I can’t test it. Whistle. Despite this, those who already have access will be able to adjust all of the above settings using the right mouse button of the Task Belt, in “Task bar settings> Task bar behavior”.

It is not clear whether the scaling is turned on by default, so if the taskbar icons decrease, as they were hit with a villain’s comic, who decided the Shrink radius, therefore. Personally, I can’t wait to make the best exploit of every megabyte from the frame, my machine has when the latest compilation appears.

“Are you sure you want to open all these programs at the same time?” Said my computer. Yes. Yes I am. Bring miniature icons. Finally, when the last time your taskbar did something beyond the mundane?
