Taskbar acts weird

doesnt show when running a maximized window

from WinCustomize Forums

hey. if this is the wrong section to post such issue, please, someone with the authority, move it to the prober section ;)

well, as the title says, i'm having problems with my taskbar. it doesn't act like it should be. in example. when i open Firefox it dissapears. same goes with Photoshop, MSN etc. and i assume some of you are using Winamp for music. it doesn't "stick" to the taskbar as it should be.

 

i made a picture when using Firefox, maximized.

using XP, for the record

The window is on top of the taskbar.

Right click on it and choose properties.

Check the 3rd box "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows"

Click OK

What software of Stardock's are you running at the time? When does this happen? Also does it stop happening when you turn off whatever it is that you are running?

@Seabass: i'm running WB, Iconpackager, Object Dock. and used to run Objectbar 2.

I'm not sure that Objectbar 2 has the option but Object Dock certainly has the option to hide the task bar. This can over ride the Windows options. You can find it under the settings menu > general. Just in case that was the trouble it will give you a good place to look.

i think it was the objectbar 2, that was the reason. because i didnt have that problems before i installed it.
