 |
|
Finally a program that hides the taskbar completely (without the tiny strip).
http://www.1space.dk/tbhide/index.html
Something as minor as that can cause enormous headaches. I like the taskbar -- well, it's basically indispensible, but it was a matter of word 2007 not being able to full-screen properly (because of that goddamn strip) that made me go to alternative shells (bblean). Bblean is basically exactly the explorer, but with the choice of an completely hidable taskbar/tray. When I found this, I promptly uninstalled bblean. As far as I know, this function is very hard to duplicate with ahk, without some kind of mouse-detection.
(A Further Note: It turns out that word 2007 still won't fullscreen properly, because it leaves a tiny slit where it thinks the auto-hiding taskbar slit is... what the hell, microsoft? Google chrome fullscreens fine.)
Anyways, you wouldn't imagine how annoying that slit is!  |

That is what I use 
You will need to untick option "Keep Taskbar on top..." and also no Autohide | Code: | #Persistent
timeout=500
CoordMode,Mouse,SCREEN
SetTimer,CheckMouse
Return
CheckMouse:
MouseGetPos,x,y,hWnd,Ctrl
If (hWnd=WinExist("AHK_class Shell_TrayWnd"))
Return
else if (y=A_ScreenHeight-1 && !WinExist("AHK_class Shell_TrayWnd")){
Sleep % timeout
MouseGetPos,,y
If (y!=A_ScreenHeight-1)
Return
WinShow, AHK_class Shell_TrayWnd
WinActivate, AHK_class Shell_TrayWnd
} else if (y!=A_ScreenHeight-1){
WinHide, AHK_class Shell_TrayWnd
}
Return |

Hiding window is not enough. You must unregister it from AppBar list that system keep internally so its space can be used by other apps or at least remove ontop state or set autohide state.
AppBar
http://www.autohotkey.net/~majkinetor/Appbar/AppBar.html#SetTaskBar
To be able to use full screen apps, create your own "F11" key which first sets no states to the the taskbar then sends F11 to actuall app.
For instance, this is enough:
| Code: | if !FullScreen
{
oldState := AppBar_SetTaskbar("disable") ;this takes up space
Send {F11}
}
else APpBar_SetTaskbar(oldState)
FUllScreen := !FullScreen |

I've made a little ahk app to do this too. It toggles the taskbar with a hot corner.
For the moment it's here:
