There are hopefully a few other methods to keep the GUI on top of the taskbar but one method could be to use a timer to keep setting it AlwaysOnTop.

Code:
CustomColor = EEAA99
Gui, +AlwaysOnTop +LastFound -caption
Gui, Color, %CustomColor%
WinSet, TransColor, %CustomColor% 255
Gui, Font,  S8 CDefault, Verdana


SoundGet, Wave_mute, Wave, mute
if wave_mute = Off
{
Gui, Add, Picture, vPic x5 y5 w10 h15,c:\autopics\muteoff.png
}
else
{
Gui, Add, Picture, vPic x5 y5 w10 h15,c:\autopics\muteon.png
}
Gui, Add, Slider, vSlid gSlid x15 y5 w66 h16, 25
Gui, Show, x1200 y1175 h30 w100, genbar
SetTimer, aot
Return

aot:
Winset, AlwaysOnTop, On, genbar
Return

But this method has it flaws like it put itself over fullscreen applications like movieplaying so an other method would be better.

One method might be to check the currently active app. and remove AlwaysOnTop if the app is running fullscreen...

The other way around might be better: check if the taskbar is visible, then put the slider on top.

You could verify if the working area is the full monitor:
Code:
SysGet Monitor,  Monitor
SysGet WorkArea, MonitorWorkArea
Sides = Bottom,Left,Right,Top
TaskBar = 0
Loop Parse, Sides, `,
   If (Monitor%A_LoopField% <> WorkArea%A_LoopField%)
      TaskBar = 1
MsgBox Visible Taskbar = %TaskBar%
But it only detects if the taskbar is hidden by AutoHide, not a screensaver or full screen video playback.

Try the following:

(this method has actually been used before by Rajat, and myself for a different purpose)

note: tested with Windows XP SP2
note: F12 will exit

Code:
g_x := A_ScreenWidth-65

Gui, -Caption
Gui, Add, Button, gSayHello, Hello
Gui, Show, x%g_x% y10

Process, Exist
WinGet, hw_gui, ID, ahk_class AutoHotkeyGUI ahk_pid %ErrorLevel%

hw_tray := DllCall( "FindWindowEx", "uint", 0, "uint", 0, "str", "Shell_TrayWnd", "uint", 0 )

DllCall( "SetParent", "uint", hw_gui, "uint", hw_tray )
return

F12::
GuiClose:
ExitApp

SayHello:
   MsgBox, Hello, World!
return

It should place a button ("Hello") on the right side of the Taskbar.

Try this simplified code:

(it should place the button covering the Start button)

Code:
Gui, -Caption
Gui, Add, Button, gSayHello, Hello
Gui, Show, x0 y0

Process, Exist
WinGet, hw_gui, ID, ahk_class AutoHotkeyGUI ahk_pid %ErrorLevel%

hw_tray := DllCall( "FindWindowEx", "uint", 0, "uint", 0, "str", "Shell_TrayWnd", "uint", 0 )

DllCall( "SetParent", "uint", hw_gui, "uint", hw_tray )
return

F12::
GuiClose:
ExitApp

SayHello:
   MsgBox, Hello, World!
return

I needed to change the y10 bit to y-8 as it was displaying mostly off screen in the very bottom right corner.

Shimanov rocks! This last script allows me to simplify a few of my scripts, which put all kind of stuff in the taskbar with the help of a timer constantly reactivating them. Thanks!
