Such information is usually stored in the registry. Therefore, it is easy to know by googling.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
"TaskbarAl" DWORD value
0 = left alignment
1 = center alignment

Code: Select all

;Return value: -1 (error), 0 (left), 1 (center)
Procedure IsTaskBarIconsCenterAligned()
  Protected Value, Result = -1
  Protected Type = #REG_DWORD, Size = 4
  
  If OSVersion() >= #PB_OS_Windows_11
    If SHRegGetUSValue_("Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced", "TaskbarAl", @Type, @Value, @Size, 0, 0, 0) = #ERROR_SUCCESS
      Result = Value
    EndIf
  EndIf
  ProcedureReturn Result
EndProcedure

Debug IsTaskBarIconsCenterAligned()

Wow, I've never seen that before! Such a short and sweet way to grab a Registry value without using a procedure or module. Thanks!
