How increase the size of "show desktop" button
I have never seen a method of doing that but you can make a normal 'icon-sized' desktop shortcut to use instead.
I call mine Show desktop but the name is not important, you can choose whatever you want.
Give the shortcut the path
%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{3080F90D-D7AD-11D9-BD98-0000947B0257}
Then right-click on it & select Pin to taskbar.
I dragged mine to the left-hand end of my Taskbar.

Welcome to ElevenForum.

It's really worth making time to browse through the ElevenForum Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every ElevenForum page [within the Tutorials dropdown list].
- At the foot of the ElevenForum Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
- ElevenForum tutorials are also listed at Tutorials and there's a shortcut to that at the top of every page.

You can search ElevenForum using the search box in the top-right corner of all ElevenForum webpages or using Advanced Search - ElevenForum
- You can also search ElevenForum threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:elevenforum.com after your search term. For example,
Taskbar setup site:elevenforum.com

If you're talking about the hover button in the bottom far right corner,
StartAllBack allows you to switch to a Windows 7 'AeroGlass' UI where you can actually see the button!
I know of no way to do it natively.
