TaskbarX and Task View Button Spacing

Adjust icon alignment around Windows Task View controls.

Quick answer

Adjust icon alignment around Windows Task View controls. This walkthrough describes the practical sequence for the original TaskbarX project, rather than promising that every option works on every Windows release.

Steps for this task

  1. Note whether the Task View button appears beside Start.
  2. Change TaskbarX centering calculation before modifying offset.
  3. Toggle Task View visibility to compare results.
  4. Apply the position that matches your desired grouping.

How to confirm the result

The icon group behaves consistently with Task View on or off. For a positioning or animation change, inspect the taskbar before and after opening or closing a normal app window. For a startup or file problem, check the executable location and the Windows Task Scheduler entry.

Compatibility and recovery

Do not hide controls required by your workflow just to force symmetry.

TaskbarX is primarily a Windows 10 utility. If a feature is absent or unsupported, close TaskbarX, remove any unwanted scheduled launch task, and return to the normal Windows taskbar rather than installing undocumented patches.
