Changing the size of the Windows 7 taskbar

Changing the size of the Windows 7 taskbar Is there a way to change the size of the Windows 7 Taskbar ?I'm fine with built in solutions or third party software. Something like the MacOS X Doc Zooming effect would be OK/nice, too.

"OK, I did some digging...

In the suggested question by
Snark, there was a mention of Object
Dock, which seems like a cool
MacOS X Dock replacement for Windows.
Officially it does not seem to
support Windows 7, yet... But in the
forums there are mentions of
getting it to work.
Then you can obviously increase the
size as suggested by Snark. But
I was looking for a way to shrink it.
I didn't quite make that clear in my
question, sorry for that.
There is one way to shrink it a
little, as it turns out: Choose
small icon size.
Another good way to get back screen
real estate is to turn on
Autohide. I guess that's what I
will use.
I just found another way... which might be a little extrem: Totally eliminate the taskbar."

Don't know whether this is relevant for you, but I could not shrink the width as narrow as I wanted until I removed some 3rd party tools from the taskbar (Thinkpad stuff: AccessConnections etc). Once I had removed them, I could drag the edge much thinner.
