| Looks like your taskbar is 46 pixel height. I don't think there is one that matches that size. There is a 39 pixel height XP button in the Start button section: http://classicshell.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3206 To get to exactly match, would need to edit the image in a photo editor program. |

Try these as well for Windows 10
Windows 98 Start buttons, similar to Windows 95.
They can be set to " Button size : 0 "
so still look pixelated sharp.
Only for regular 100%/ 96dpi system size, or will go fuzzy. |
