Small taskbar size causes issues with the default taskbar icons

Tried the latest version and still the same issue, I am using a 1440p monitor if that's relevant.

Thank you for reporting this issue! Currently I do not have a solution for this issue, because I have not found a Registry Tweak to solve this. I have heard about some people installing third party clock applications that are able to correct this, perhaps this might also be a solution for you.

I am hoping Microsoft will revise the Taskbar in Windows 11, since there are multiple issues and bugs with it. This program is only a temporary solution, that will (hopefully) become obsolete one day.

Which third party clock apps are you referring to? I have the same issue. Start11 manages to correctly display date and time with a small taskbar/icon design. But it's overkill as the small sized taskbar is the only UI change I want. ElevenClock works well on the secondary screen, but doesn't do anything to align the icons or adjust the padding for the small icons/taskbar. This only affects the new windows 11 icon groups (like wifi, sound, battery), not other individual taskbar icons like Onedrive.

Thanks for any idea. This is very annoying but I'd like to avoid having to use start11 if possible.
