In my case, my screen is 1680 wide, hence the label name. It should be noted that this is not an instantaneous change, the file appears to be rewritten periodically, every 30sec/1min or so. The question now becomes, the variable is being changed but why doesn't the Task Bar respect the change? Time to write a bug report? Andrew
