Title: Windows 11 Tests Taskbar Icons That Scale Up and Down Like On a Mac

Microsoft is testing a new Windows 11 feature that resizes taskbar icons
dynamically like on macOS, with options to shrink icons when the taskbar is
full or keep them small at all times. The Verge reports: If you're on the
beta, under Taskbar settings - Taskbar behaviors, you can now select options
under Show smaller taskbar buttons: Always, Never, or When taskbar is full.
The third option will scale down icons so that they all can fit and not get
hidden away in a second menu. The behavior appears to be similar to macOS
where icons on the dock get smaller as more applications or minimized windows
are added. Microsoft is also testing an update to the Start menu. "Now, it
has a larger layout that includes the ability to hide the recommended recent
apps and can show all of your apps on the page," reports The Verge.
