Wasted space on taskbar

[Terry Pinnell]

After years using 'Classic', I'm now trying the standard XP theme
(Luna), together with Silver as my colour scheme.

But I've just noticed what seems to be a negative consequence: the
'overflow' arrows appear when there's still space available for more
minimised tasks,as shown here:

Anyone else get this behaviour please?

(BTW, for the curious, I replaced the large bright green Start button
that is an apparent penalty of using the XP style with the one shown,
using a little program called MySB.)

I have no clue but I use the old, classic Taskbar and
recently dragged it from a horizontal to a vertical
position which I thought would be a trivial change. To
my surprise, I much prefer it. I can actually have 20
windows open and six or seven applications and see them
all in detail because my desktop has a resolution of
about 1200 by 900.

Any advise is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.
