Desktop Manager under taskbar - WIndows 8.1

Postby jonc » 18.05.2014 11:08:35

Hello -

Version: 1.6.12, Build 2416

Not sure if there is a setting I am missing or it's a possible bug?

If I move the DM (desktop manager) into the taskbar and change desktops the DM seems to end up under the taskbar on the switched desktop. I will provide two screen shots.

As expected here

The taskbar overlays DM. Unable to click at this point

Recreate:
If the DM shows after switching desktops hover over an application icon in the taskbar. Shortly after the task bar will cover the DM


( Fantastic Application! )

:dex:

It's by (Windows) design. The taskbar is always on top. When it receives focus, it covers everything else, including other topmost windows like the Desktop Manager.

If you want something that integrates into the taskbar, try the "Taskbar Pager" plugin (Settings > Plugins and Extras).

Hi Patrick-

Switched to using the pager and it works well.

A feature request would be to add an option for the extra icon/button that previews all the desktops.
Same as the taskbar, that is a great feature.

Thank you
