Hi,

I have 4 monitors and I want to hide the taskbar on one of them. Windows 10 unfortunately doesn't have that built-in

Does this app allow me to achieve that?

The use case is to rebind the Windows key to something other than that start menu (e.g. keypirinha or everything). Currently, you can't do this without inadvertently triggering the task bar to appear.

Seems like a simple enough idea to me - could you add some way to just toggle ONLY THE TASKBAR in and out of view without bringing the start menu with it? if i want the start menu, i can open it via the taskbar - usually it just gets in the way. thank you and happy holidays.

Scoop forces symbolic links to be available. (To install scoop the user must give certain priveledges to powershell.) So for startup you can just add a post install hook to the manifest to add a symbolic link in user startup folder.
`# An array of commands to be executed after an application is installed.

post_install: ["Write-Host 'Running postinstall command'"]`

I think that built-in autoupdates are awful. At least in my experience with something like VLC or Transmission. I want to use the app right away not wait for an update. With scoop you can run update all once a week at night before sleep or even just schedule it.

Another point is scoop gives reproducibility, you can get nearly identical work environment on a new windows install with a few commands. Whatever you have to install manually of the web of course breaks reproducibility.

Essentially, to have the standard fixed taskbar as the toggle for the CTRL+WIN+F11 hotkey, rather than the "Automatically Hide" mode.

Buttery Taskbar ON - Windows Automatically Hide mode ON, Buttery Taskbar ON

Buttery Taskbar OFF - Fixed Taskbar.

Seems possible at face value.

Thanks in advance if you could give it a look.

Noticed a odd "BEEP" sound that happens almost every other time I try to open the taskbar using the mouse wheel scroll.
Has anyone else reproduced this before?

Windows 11, not any other taskbar mods installed but this one.

This is kind of and edge case, but I was wondering if you could add an option to start the program with it's functionality disabled (as if you'd pressed the control win F11 shortucut), leaving it to be enabled later.

You could do this with a config file, option in the settings menu, or just an alt executable that starts toggled off rather than on, whichever is easiest.

I tried to see if I could just fork it but I'm not sure how to compile my own version of the executable (the main issue really), or if the is_enabled variable at the top of buttery-taskbar.jai is the value I would want to flip.

ButteryTaskbar works great for me, but I don't always want my taskbar hidden and usually not when I'm just booting up. Having to input the shortcut every time is kind of a hassle, so this would make it easier to just have run on startup and toggle it on when I want the taskbar gone.

Hey first of all thanks for such an improved Taskbar Experience. The only thing that id want to see is the Feature to "Hover over the taskbar" to reveal it.
My Problem with the Scroll Option is that:

1. It opens the start menu
2. Its another button press

Hovering over taskbar to reveal it negates these "Problems" and makes it generally quicker. As I said would love to see that option added under the Settings. That would make it the perfect Taskbar Extension that ive been looking for

Requesting an option to keep the taskbar displayed after the windows key is pressed until the mouse stops hovering over the taskbar area.

Use case / Explanation: I have "Scroll to reveal taskbar" OFF. Numerous program's tray icons refuse to allow me to right-click them when the Windows start menu is up. Since the only way I can reveal the taskbar is the Windows key, I am essentially blocked from interacting with these programs.

Solution: An option that will keep the taskbar up so long as the mouse is still within its space. So I press the windows key to bring up the taskbar (and start menu), then I either press the windows key again or click the start menu icon. Since the mouse cursor is still in the taskbar area the taskbar wont autohide, until it leaves the area at least. Now I can right-click my tray icon programs.

Ok, I may be missing something here, but I have tried everything and cannot solve this issue.

I have downloaded and used butterytaskbar2 without configuring the initializing processes.

Now everytime I turn on my PC, the toolbar doesn't show up on mouse over.
Is there some sort of service, registry, configuration that I need to delete to rollback the installation?

Thanks.

I know I'm probably an edge case, but I have a super ultrawide monitor (5120x1440p) and often play games in 1440p windowed mode to have discord or whatever else open on the sides. This sometimes results in me looking down and scrolling (to change weapon/tool) and the taskbar/start menu appearing. A keybind or launch option to disable this without disabling the functionality of Buttery Taskbar would be very helpful.
