Ability to hide taskbar
Like the title said, is there a way for the taskbar to hide/unhide like the ordinary taskbar can? Preferably with a shortcut
This is an ESSENTIAL and fundamental characteristic of the original taskbar, also mentioned in #469, #319 and #346.
In my mind it is the ONLY important option that really needs to be fixed. This isn't just me moaning. I can live (at a push) without it. However, gaining that extra screen space is essential. My own dock has it, as one of the first things I implemented. You can see that here: https://www.deviantart.com/yereverluvinuncleber/journal/RocketDock-Enhanced-Settings-Screen-Pt-2-830399731
Several requests for this now from different people. A timer that counts the last interaction with the dock, triggering another, this one providing a form opacity fade from 255 to 0 (and vice versa when the user's cursor enters the dock area) - can't be that tricky to implement.
Basically, if it doesn't hide it isn't acting like a proper dock should. I could knock up some code if required, I am not a C# programmer but I have similar code in VB6.
I have been working on auto-hide support for RetroBar; here is a pre-release that can be tested. Please note that this has not gone through the full gamut of testing and may not be perfect! RetroBar.zip
Tested on Windows 10 Pro 21H2. All working perfectly with a nice slide out. Stress testing now.
Results checking on Windows 11 and 7 coming shortly.
