    These apply to horizontal enhanced mode taskbars only.

     

    S11_PrimaryTBOverrideOffset = how far to offset the taskbar from the left screen edge in pixels.  Default is -1 which means auto

    S11_PrimaryTBOverrideWidth = How wide the taskbar should be in pixels.  If the above value isn't set then it centres the bar.

     

    These are primarily intended for use when a user has a very wide screen and is using tools like DisplayFusion and wants to limit where the taskbar is positioned.  They can also be used to make it look a bit more like a dock (non expanding for width) if you turn on rounded corners and use the overrideWidth value only.
