I have set windows taskbar to autohide. which means the taskbar only pops up when the win key is pressed OR the mouse is positioned at the bottom of the screen.
if the title bar of a window is removed using this code:

Code:

#b::WinSet, Style, ^0xC00000, A

then the taskbar does not show up as it should. Sometimes. positioning the mouse at the bottom has no effect..

any solutions for this ?

Maybe you're sometimes changing the style of the taskbar? Try:

Code:

#IfWinNotActive ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd   ; taskbar is not active window
   #b::WinSet, Style, ^0xC00000, A
#IfWinNotActive

I've did some tests. It gives always problems with maximized windows.
I think Windows doesn't do what it promises in the setting "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows".
Maybe still a solution possible. I will look again when I've got some more time.

That damn auto-hide taskbar is quite difficult to tame.
Maybe code can be more fine-tuned, but I tried several things, and at the end always some problem came up again.
I did some testing, and this seems to work, but not 100% guarantee:

Code:

WinGet, taskbarID, id, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd 
#IfWinNotActive ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd   ; taskbar is not active window
   #b::
      WinGet, activeID, id, A
      WinSet, Style, ^0xC00000, ahk_id %activeID%
      WinGet, winStyle, style, ahk_id  %activeID%
      if !(winStyle & 0xC00000){
         sleep 1500   ; delay seems necessary, I don't know exactly why though
         DllCall("SetWindowPos", "uint", taskbarID, "uint",0, "int",0, "int",0, "int",0, "int", 0, "uint", 0x253) 
         ; 0x253: SWP_NOACTIVATE= 0x10  SWP_NOOWNERZORDER= 0x200
         ;        SWP_SHOWWINDOW= 0x40  SWP_NOMOVE= 2 & SWP_NOSIZE= 1 (->all coord. can = 0)
         WinGetPos, X, Y, Width, winH, ahk_id %activeID%
         WinMove, ahk_id %activeID%, , , , , % winH - 6  ; necessary? after a Win-key
         WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, off, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
         WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, on, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
         tooltip taskbar recovered    ; for testing
      }
      else
         tooltip
   return
#IfWinNotActive
