BatteryBar height shrinks on vertical taskbar

[MorningSun]

Hi,
I have the following problem: I use the taskbar in a vertical orientation on windows xp and have disabled the automatic hiding of tray icons.
I use battery bar 3.5

This means as additional tray icons are added,
the rectangle (on taskbar where all tray icons are)
extends upwards to make room for a new tray icon(s).

Battery bar moved upwards too,
until to some point, where at the next step only the height gets smaller.
This can be seen in the attached before/after screenshot.

I'm going to have to do some research into this. I admit that BatteryBar has never really been optimized for vertical taskbars.
