But also for as long a I can remember I have played the game of "what app is forcing my taskbar up"... Usually while I'm trying to hit something that the taskbar is now obscuring (like Firefox's searchbox, or half of a Teams notification. It is absolutely maddening and it seems to be getting worse lately I have the feeling.
So I want to ask you HNers., how do you treat the taskbar? Am I missing something? Why is the responsible app never flashing? Why can't it flash just the upper pixel line so I know something is up but it doesn't obscure anything. I have the feeling I am a very small minority of taskbar hiders and nobody cares about this setting.
In comparison, I never have this issue in Ubuntu, the taskbar is there when I hit the Win/Super key and not there when I leave it alone. Of course Ubuntu has other notifications that have nothing to do with the taskbar.
