Problem with Taskbar - all skins

from WinCustomize Forums
        Hi, I'm having a problem with the taskbar when using all skins on WindowBlinds 5.1:
I have the taskbar on 'Auto-hide', and I'm finding it very difficult to bring back up as the small 'strip' at the top seems to be missing - I wondered if anyone else has had this problem, and if there was a solution?

Thanks!

you don't need the small strip - just move you mouse all the way down as far as you can, and wait a sec
Groupy 2 - Organize multiple applications into grouped tabs on your Windows desktop

finding it very difficult to bring back up


Difficult or impossible? Difficult implies that you can get it to work. How do you do that? It might help with troubleshooting.

Impossible . . well we know what that means and that info can help too.

Do you have any other apps running that might hide the taskbar? ObjectDock, ObjectBar, and DesktopX all can do that. Is the taskbar locked? It's possible that could play a part.

I can get it to come back up if I manage to find a certain empty part of the task bar near the icons on the right-hand side...
I have tried unlocking the taskbar, which didn't help, and I don't have any of those applications running!

Thanks for your help!

Sounds more like a Video Card/Driver issue? Try updating your drivers or make sure you have a 256k Graphics Card.

do you have the taskbar to always be on top?

If I set mine to autohide it doesn't matter where along the bottom I put my cursor, it pops up.

Do you have anything else running that also hides the bar?
do you have anything elso running to have taskbar transparency?
