I couldn't get the theme to work either because after the Vista Glazz thing I didn't copy the entire theme (e.g. en-US and Shell folder and the Windows 7.msstyles) then it worked. Also when creating the value make sure its binary. I hope that helps,

set MinWidth to -255 it works!

Running Vista Ultimate 32 bit Works but not as stated i think it may have something to do with what resolution you are running so i set my value to 25 works PERFECT with no letter no nothing just the icon pretty cool Thanks for the tweak!!

when minwidth is set to 56..i think this only works for vista ultimate sp1 x86...

By the way, i'm using vista ultimate sp1 x32 and set the value of minwidth to 56 and it works...

for xp use minwidth value -255

This works people.... You have to reboot pc before you will see the changes....

for Windows Vista Bussines X86 set the minwidth value -252

what is it originally, because I want mine back to normal

To Go back to Original Windows Size Do this:

1. Click on the start button and type in regedit and hit Enter.

2. Navigate through HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Desktop\WindowMetrics.

3. Delete MinWidth.

4. Restart, Or Logg Off And Logg Back on And its back to the original.

Hi, my pc is running Vista Ultimate x32 on sp2 & i cannot get this tweak to work, have followed the instructions but setting minwidth to 56 does not work. has anybody got a new Reg code number for the tweak to work with sp2?

Cheers,

William

The tweak does work with Vista sp2, I run Uniblue registry booster after to scan for reg errors & restarting again the text was removed from the taskbar icons.

Thanks for the tweak.

Cheers,

William

I've done something similar along with using a custom theme to make vista look really similar to Win7, however the icons on task bar buttons are still really small. Is there a setting in the system registry I can edit to increase the size of just the icons on task bar buttons? It really looks odd to me having large quick launch icons while the actual task bar buttons are tiny.

I've tried using the Advanced appearance settings to increase the size of the "caption buttons" setting, but that also changes the size of multiple other things that I don't want to change (close, max, min buttons; task bar size changes slightly, etc..). So far I've been unable to find any solutions.

Thanks in advance!

Is there any settings in the system registry I could change that would increase the size of the icons on task bar buttons (not quick launch)? I've successfully been able to do the steps listed here to remove the text from the buttons, and I used a downloaded theme with my patched theme file to make everything look a lot like Windows 7, but the icons on the task bar button are still tiny when compared to the size of their neighboring quick launch icons, and it looks really odd.

I've already tried increasing the size of the "Caption buttons" setting in Advanced appearance settings, but that also changes the size of other things (close, max/restore, close buttons on windows, and task bar size slightly), and I don't want those to change.

Thanks in advance.

I run vista home premium, followed instructions and worked a treat, set minwidth to 56.
Thank you

Today I reinstalled from scratch and before this I hadn't had to tweak to have only the icon show for a minimized window or application. I'm using Ultimate 64bit and dual monitors. Does anyone have an idea on how it was possible before? And the tweak isn't working for me.

Hey i run Vista home premium 32bit and i set it to min width 56 and it worked like a charm. oh and Charles, try downloading a windows 7 theme from here http://giannisgx89.deviantart.com/art/Windows-7-Style-For-Vista-102269037

If it doesn't work then just save yourself the time and just go out and buy windows 7 os. :)

Works great but i dont know how to take owership. i doo all what readme says put didint work, i have try this 100 times and still not working,
Put i have now new taskbar and its awsome :D

I'm running vista home premium, I set MinWith to 15 worked great.

Hi, I Wanna Know, Whats The Value For Vista 32Bit Home Premium.
Anyone Know?

PS: I Don't Wanna Use William Pastuszka's Answer

try -255

thanks was looking for this

Worked for me. Running Win7 Ultimate 64bit. It actually doesn't get rid of all the text, it truncates after the 1st or 2nd character with "..."

I haven't tried changing the value from 56 to a lower number though. Thanks a lot!

Try 56 first. If that doesn't work, try -255.
