### Taskbar Width:

 The width of the taskbar can be controlled by adjusting the **MaxWidth** and **MinWidth** properties. By default, the taskbar width is set to 1050 pixels.

 **Default Values:**

 ```text
<span class="L_row"><span class="beforeEqual">Default_Width_Values</span><span class="bracket-key">=</span>1050</span>
```
 If you want to change the taskbar width, modify these values to your preferred width in pixels. For example, setting both to `1200` will make the taskbar 1200 pixels wide.



### System Tray Frame Adjustment:

 If you adjust the taskbar width, you also need to modify the margin of the System Tray Frame to ensure it is aligned properly. The margin value should be adjusted to be approximately 250 pixels less than the new taskbar width.

 **System Tray Frame Margin Adjustment:**

 ```text
<span class="L_row"><span class="beforeEqual">Default_Margin_Values</span><span class="bracket-key">=</span>800</span>
```
 
 For example, if the taskbar width is set to `1050` pixels, the margin should be `800`. If you change the taskbar width to `1200`, the margin would be `950`.



### Taskbar Corner Radius:

 The corner radius defines the roundness of the taskbar’s corners. By default, it is set to `20`.

 **Corner Radius Property:**

 ```text
<span class="L_row"><span class="beforeEqual">Default_CornerRadius</span><span class="bracket-key">=</span>20</span>
```
 You can increase or decrease this value depending on how rounded you want the corners to appear. A higher number increases the roundness, and a lower number reduces it.



### Taskbar Background: Opacity

 The background of the taskbar is controlled using the **AcrylicBrush** property, which allows for a translucent effect. The background can be customized by adjusting the `TintLuminosityOpacity` values.

 **Default Background Settings:**

 ```text
<span class="L_row"><span class="beforeEqual">Default_Background</span><span class="bracket-key">=</span><acrylicbrush tintcolor="{ThemeResource CardStrokeColorDefaultSolid}" fallbackcolor="{ThemeResource CardStrokeColorDefaultSolid}" tintopacity="0" tintluminosityopacity=".85" opacity="1"></acrylicbrush></span>
``` 
 **TintLuminosityOpacity** controls the brightness of the tint. You can adjust this between `0` (no luminosity) and `1` (full luminosity).
 


### Taskbar Background: Color

 To change the background color according to your preference, locate the line “`<span class="beforeEqual">Default_Background</span>`” and modify its background value. For example,
 
 ```text
<span class="L_row"><span class="beforeEqual">Default_Background</span><span class="bracket-key">=</span>Pink</span>
```
 **Or**
 
 ```text
<span class="L_row"><span class="beforeEqual">Default_Background</span><span class="bracket-key">=</span>#ff1493</span>
```
