Before reporting your issue

  • I have confirmed that this issue does not happen when ExplorerPatcher is not installed
  • I do not have "register as shell extension" enabled
  • I have tried my best to check existing issues

Repro Windows Versions

3rd party tweak software installed

advanced system font changer

Describe the bug

When using "taskbar style: windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher)", the font size on the taskbar is significantly smaller than rest of the system.
I have:

  • system text size set to 150% in accessibility settings
  • display zoom to 100% / DPI: 96 (i don't want to increase this setting as it makes some UI elements unnessesarily big)
  • all font sizes to 15 pts in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

despite all the above settings, the text font size on the taskbar still looks like the default 9pts.

Expected outcome

text font size on the taskbar stays in sync with rest of the system

Actual outcome

text font size on the taskbar is smaller than rest of the system
