Taskbar keeps changing size when I switch desktop between monitors
I do a lot of desktop switching between monitors, particularly a 4K TV and a 1080p monitor. When in 4K, Windows activates the scaling function which completely throws off and resizes the taskbar (i have it on the left side) to its default wider size. Any way to get 7+ Taskbar Tweaker to resize my taskbar back as small as possible every time I switch?
Thanks

I might be able to implement that. When that happens, if you close and re-launch the tweaker, does the taskbar become narrow again?
Now this is a late reply, sorry about that.
When I restart the tweaker it doesn't make the taskbar narrow again, nothing happens. It has to be manually resized every single time, so I naturally just stopped using the feature and left it wide.
If I set Windows 10 scaling to 100% on both monitors it seems to preserve the width of the taskbar when switching back and forth between the monitor/tv. If the 1080p monitor is set to 100% scaling and I switch to the 4K TV's higher scaling like say 200%, then the taskbar initially preserves its low width. However, when I then switch back from the 4K TV to the 1080p monitor and Windows changes scaling from 200% to 100% that's when the taskbar is left in a large wide state, at which point it has to be manually resized again.
I see, I believe that the reason is that the narrow width was saved in pixels, so it represented different logical widths for different scaling settings. I tried to improve it in version v5.15.2.2 beta, please try it and let me know if it solved the issue for you. You can get it here.
