Any taskbar hiding applications?

<< < (2/6) > >>

SyRaza:
You could try Skrommel's PushToShow: https://www.dcmembers.com/skrommel/download/pushtoshow/

It should hide your Taskbar unless you press the Windows key.

There is also CloseFence: https://www.dcmembers.com/skrommel/download/closefence/

That one keeps an autohiding Taskbar from accidentally appearing if you hover a bit too close to it.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I was able to accomplish what I needed with app103's suggestion. At first I tried PushToShow but it didn't work with the taskbar autohidden. Had to unhide it for PushToShow to work. While the program did hide the taskbar, the reserved space for the taskbar remained intact which defeated what I was doing (using rainmeter to make a thinner taskbar).

Then I tried CloseFence and it's the perfect solution. It stops the mouse from going to the edge and activating the taskbar. It works flawlessly.

Thank you all!

Excuse my previous post. I want to add something I didn't notice. CloseFence stops working when the window is maximized. If no windows are maximized, CloseFence does what it's supposed to.

Do you want to COMPLETELY HIDE Windows' taskbar for your whole login session?

(There's an oldie code for hiding it from some years ago... may still be relevant for your use-case. Please confirm what you need :))

Cheers!

That's exactly what I want, but will that disable the start menu as well (that I'd access using the windows key)?

It can be done, yes.

Code works on W7, what's your windows version?
