Autohide Taskbar set TopMost

Open neoOpus opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

Hi,

I would like to suggest a feature that would make your app even better... When there is a window set fullscreen or top-most on windows and maximized... most of the time the taskbar when set to autohide (to save some space on screen and reduce visual clutter)... the Taskbar refuse to show and this is an issue that dates back to Windows 95 and MS didn't manage to solve it since then...

My suggestion is to add the WinApi function that set the taskbar to topmost and trigger the unhide if Windows doesn't do it (also hide would be great to force it when the taskbar is stuck) and make the Stay or Wheel trigger one state or another...

There is a software called Taskbar Activate and it's the only one that I've found that solve this properly but it's very outdated and his author is dead long time ago unfortunately... I managed to make it work even better and hide the line on the bottom but I just wish if I was a programmer so I will reverse engineer it and make a more modern version... (many photoshop users suffer from this issue since the taskbar when refuse to autohide it block the view of the tray which contains some useful information and it's frustrating to have to change the taskbar to be always visible because of this and lose some screen space that is needed for softwares' UI)
