From PC World: Microsoft has been making quite a few changes to the Windows 11 taskbar, but there’s still room for improvement.

In the latest Beta version of Windows 11, there’s a new toggle in the Taskbar section of Windows Settings that lets you Show smaller taskbar buttons with options for Always, Never, and When taskbar is full. (As of this writing, the setting isn’t fully working as intended.)
