That part doesn't bother me as when I switch between apps, I almost always use
Alt-Tab, rather than the taskbar itself.

On my PC at work I have the taskbar set to double size (better monitor and
higher res), so this way I get a large quick launch area, and a large taskbar
area. (and a decent clock rather than the limited function built in clock.)
