Windows live home screen plugin - too big!

[Rabangus]

OK, this does sound like a real noob question, but I've spent quite a while searching on this and come up with nothing other than a couple of posts where others complain about the same thing but with no answers.

The Windows Live today screen plugin is so frickin large, and most of the space it takes up is empty anyway - it just looks dumb. Is there any way to make it smaller (other than making the default screen size for the device ridiculously small)?

Ok, so I'll answer my own question. I did a bit of digging in the registry and found you can change the height of the plugin by:

1. Remove the plugin from the Today screen
2. Open a registry editor
3. Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\ Windows Live
4. Change the value of key 'Height' (default is 50)
5. Re-enable the plugin on the Today screen - it should now be a different height.

I found I can set it to 44 without cutting off anything. Not a massive reduction, but does make it look a bit better.

I find that I can fit Windows Live and 2 other items on the Home Screen without having a scroll bar. Oh thats with HTC home. So I think the default size for normal items is 25px? Did you try that size?
