taskbar resizes to default when wb loads

I like my taskbar to be double high because I run a lot of programs at the same time and when I load wb it resizes the taskbar back to the 1 row default height. How can I make it stop doing this? Its quite annoying. (the problem happens even if the taskbar is locked.)

I use doubletask as well and never have that problem. Here's something you could try: open the WB config and go to the override default settings, make sure "the taskbar should be sized as follows" is set to Skin decides taskbar size. That's what mine is set to and it works fine.

Thanks for the try, mine is already set to that. I dont know if this skin is specifically programmed to reset the bar on load or what, is that even possible?

Explorer will resize the taskbar when it detects that any theme margins have changed. It rounds down to the nearest number of rows that it thinks fits.

This happens if you switch from classic to Windows XP style, from Windows XP style to classic or when switching to WB. It will not happen when switching between the 3 Windows XP style colour schemes because all 3 have the same margin values.
