Size of Taskbar

Skinning newbie here. Hope you don't mind helping. How do you change the height of the taskbar. I noticed that several of the skins have shorter taskbars, but I can't find where the set the height. I've looked through several tuts but I haven't found anythng that gives me any direction for scaling the size of the taskbar. Thank you! Oh, yea...using SkinStudio v.5.0.0 build 1105

Depending on how small you actually want it, and if you're making a skin of your own, it all depends on what size you make the image. Example, you want a 25 pixel high taskbar, you make the image 25 pixels high. Then the start, taskbar, quicklaunch buttons all need to fit in. The tray needs to be the same size as taskbar. It takes a little mucking around with the settings.

Double click on WindowBlinds Icon. In User Overrides tab, you will see a drop-down menu saying "skin decides taskbar size"; select "Larger taskbar size" for having big taskbar. Click Apply Setting and you are done

Well, maybe I did something wrong then scorpio...I set the start button, taskbar, quicklaunch, tray, etc. to 25 pixels and it still seems to show up at a height of 30. Yes, I'm trying to design a skin of my own without using someone elses WB as a template. But for some reason, it seems to stay at 30 pixels. However, when I apply a skin with a smaller taskbar/system tray, it shows up fine.
