Ability to maximize windows?
« on: September 27, 2008, 11:40 AM »
Hi mouser/everybody…

A question about DesktopCoral:
Is it possible to allow the windows to be maximized?

All I want to do is to prevent the desktop icons being placed under my dock :). But maximized windows should maximize fully, so that I have to move the cursor to the edge of the screen to make the dock appear…

Greetings

I found WorkTop today, which is doing what I want…

But unlike DesktopCoral, it just applies the settings and does not care about what happens after that. Launching task manager, for example, seems to destroy the reserved space and the icons return. (I'm  using Vista.)

So I'm still hoping for an option in DesktopCoral :).

Found a solution today:

I just created some invisible folders and put them under my dock  :D

How to create multiple folders: http://www.bizzntech...ible-in-vista-and-xp
for a second one just repeat the [ALT]-combination
