Hiding taskbar when window maximised

skinbin

It is possible to hide the taskbar when a window is maximised, but to show the taskbar when on the desktop? To clarify, I don't mean using F11 or turning on auto-hide to do this, rather the window automatically be over the taskbar when it is maximised. I am more than happy with registry edits, or installing modifications etc. to achieve this if its not possible with a simple settings change (tho I don't think it is as I've looked extensively).

 

Thanks

You want a janky solution?

Use Taran's magical Auto-hotkey software/AutoIT so that whenever you maximise a window an obscure hotkey will be pressed.

Then, that obscure hotkey will trigger TaskBar Hider.

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

Yes I understand the concept is the same as fullscreen, but for example fullscreening Chrome will hide the open tabs, url and bookmarks bar - I want all these to still be displayed.

 

I'll definitely take a look into that janky solution aha thanks man!

You know you could have found this stuff with just a simple google search right?

You should  take a look through your chrome flags, there's plenty of good stuff there that you want to enable.

I don't want this just for Chrome, I want it system wide for every window.

 

I'm well aware of Googling, and I have extensively hence why I'm posting here.
