LBC "steals" part of desktop (Dexpot Issue and Fix)
« on: December 08, 2011, 05:17 AM »
I am experimenting with LBC (1.129.01) on my Win7 64-bit system.
I want to use LBC in conjunction with a virtual desktop program called Dexpot.
Everything is working well except for one very annoying issue.

I have LBC docked at the top of the screen, set to auto-slide (auto-hide has same issue)
and set to always be on top.

When I switch from one virtual desktop to another, the desktop is shifted down by the
height of LBC even though LBC itself is hidden. If I open an application in full screen mode,
the application window fills the screen except for the area at the top where LBC would
be if it were open.

I realize this could be a bug in Dexpot, just wondering whether this might ring any bells
with you? Do you have any suggestions for further investigation?

(FWIW, I use LBC on XP 32-bit with Virtual Dimension virtual desktop program and do not
see this problem.)

Awesome.. Thank you mvuille for posting the solution before i even had a chance to check out the problem.

I'm going to add this link found by you in the LBC help file and this thread will surely help others who find similar problem.

Thanks again and please do post any further bugs that you can't solve, or feature requests, etc.  :up:
