Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore

I like how taskbar buttons dynamically resize depending on window title. I like that the size of the buttons on the taskbar are all different, and I like not having a way to change this back to the boring obvious tried-and-true standard of having buttons that are all the same size.

I like that the rules appear to not make any fucking sense, leading to situations where you can have 3 entries for the same program with the same content open that are all different sizes.

I like it because it takes me out of whatever I’m doing and forces me to notice the user interface. I like getting distracted by little hints of movement at the bottom of the screen that make me stop and go “wait what the fuck did it just do”.

I like that when I last searched for “windows 11 taskbar button resize disable”, the only mention of the word “disable” on the first page of search results was this:

I like having to put “site:reddit.com” at the end of my search query before I can even begin to scratch the surface of the issue.

And I like having to ultimately give up and live with it because at the end of the day, it’s a feature and not a bug.
