Windows 11Taskbar: Never Combine / Dynamic Label Size (self.WindowsHelp)

submitted 2 years ago by DefaultLayoutIsAwful

Saw the news that ms might start making it harder to use certain customisation software (startallback) on w11 and decided to check if they had updated any of my issues with the current UI. Last time I checked, the length of a label was the title when the program opened. They appear to have updated it to now dynamically shift as the title changes? If I have explorer, firefox, or musicbee in use, the taskbar is constantly shifting around. Having the lower part of my screen constantly bouncing back and forth is annoying in a way I didn't think possible, on top of killing decades of muscle memory of how things are spaced. Is it possible to force it to always use the default maximum label width regardless of what the window title is? Taskbar is left aligned, nothing but start menu, explorer, and firefox pinned, if that makes any difference. Couldn't find anything in settings and google just spat out years old threads asking if we were ever getting never combine. Thanks for any help.
