Yes you can: right-click the plugin Appearance->Button Properties

Set the icon size value into 12 or 14 (in your case).

I'll add this feature in the next releases.

cool!!! thanks

Awesome, Thanks for thinking of us x64 folks. I will use this so much, I will probably end up with little dents on my screen from clicking there so much.

A welcomed change in version 2 was the possibility to move windows between desktops. I would like to see this brought a step further: The Desktop Manager, a central place to organize all windows at once. Take a look at the enclosed screen shot. Here you have overview of all open windows, and can organize them by dragging any window to the desired desktop, or to the "global" desktop to display a window on all desktops.

The Desktop Manager should pop up when you left click the active desktop icon, and as a choice in the right click context menu for the Virtual Desktops plugin.

Could this be done?

I hope to see this, too.
:wink:

Can we assume that all plug-ins are Vista compatible??

Yes. Thank you for suggestion

Yes.

1. The order of the taskbar buttons should be kept when switching desktops back and forth. The way it is now the order changes every time you move from one desktop to another and than back again. This makes it difficult to find the application you are looking for in the taskbar.

2. Maybe this goes beyond the scope of True Launch Bar, but...: I was thinking of adding the ability to arrange the taskbar buttons by dragging them around; and the ability to group taskbar buttons in custom groups. You have probably written half the code to do this anyway when the problem with messing up the taskbar order is fixed.

A sample app linked below works like this:
Move a taskbar button: Shift + drag with left mouse.
Create a new group: Ctrl + left mouse click on a taskbar button.
Ungroup a custom group: Ctrl + left mouse on the group button.
Moving a button to a group: Ctrl + drag with left mouse.
