    Tip 8. Use Small Icon to Fit More on the Taskbar

Therefore, right-click on the empty area of the taskbar and go to Taskbar Settings and turn on the Use small taskbar buttons option.

    Use Small Icons on the Taskbar
    Use Small Icons on the Taskbar

    While you turn on the option then you will see the icon become smaller and the taskbar itself shrinks vertically. as a result, you will see everything is fine except the clock option, by doing this the date will be hidden and only the time will be shown but if you move the cursor over the clock then you will see the date or the date will be shown above the clock. Moreover, now you can pin as many icons as you want.

    Use Small Taskbar Icon

    Tip 9. Show Labels for Taskbar Icons

    Well, to customize the taskbar in windows 10 in tip 9 you will learn to show labels for taskbar icons, as you know by default the icon labels are hidden because if you show the icon labels then it will take lots of space in the taskbar. that’s why people hide the icon labels to save more space on the taskbar. However, to show the labels for taskbar icons is well good for newer users to recognize the icons. Moreover, without the computer owner for others, it is difficult to recognize the icons therefore if we show the labels then it makes it easy to understand the icons.

    So, to do that, right-click on the empty area of the taskbar and click on the Taskbar Settings. After that, scroll down a little bit and you will find the Combine Taskbar Buttons.

    • Always, Hide Labels. well, this option is the Windows default setting, when this option is set then you won’t see the icon labels.
    • When Taskbar is Full. if you choose this option then it will be shown the icon labels unless the taskbar becomes full. When it fills up then it reverts to the first option which is Always, Hide labels.
    • Never. When you select this option then windows are never grouped and labels are always shown you can see this action below in the screenshot.
