Is it just my imagination that the small taskbar icon looks unfamiliar?

I know that you can turn off the small taskbar icons, which can be quite useful at times, but I always feel that the display looks a little strange and not quite right. I wonder if I'm the only one who feels this way?

    Not your imagination. Many find small taskbar icons visually off-putting due to:

    Broken expectations (default size is deeply familiar)

    Tighter visual clutter

    Unbalanced proportions (vs. Start button/tray)

    Reduced click precision

    You’re not alone — it’s a common preference to keep them at standard size.
