Is there any way to have windows interact with the taskbar?

Post by brodie1600 »

I'm brand new to Rainmeter and just made some variations to the Enigma skin. I like how it looks right now, but the only problem is when I hide my Windows taskbar with Taskbar Eliminator, my windows such as Chrome or Thunderbird maximize to the whole screen (which is understandable). I was wondering if there was a way for these windows to acknowledge the Rainmeter taskbar and only expand up to the top, much like they do with the Windows taskbar. Otherwise, things at the bottom of these windows are unclickable, for the Rainmeter taskbar gets in the way.

Thanks for any help.

Rainmeter has it's own option for this: http://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/settings/rainmeter-section#DesktopWorkArea

personally i use DesktopCoral: http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/desktopcoral/

i guess there are at least a dozen other programs, this site knows more: http://is.gd/2V93LS
