I have tried resizing the taskbar with all the normal Windows APIs

SetWindowPos
MoveWindow
SetWindowPlacement

But to no avail.

The taskbar does not even flinch, what would be a good way to adjust it in its width, height, pos.

Good information to know, but im not working on anything that is going to invade peoples preferences.

Is there a method that doesn't require the api?
