Is there any way to customize the Windows 7 taskbar auto-hide behavior? Delay activation? Timer?
Solution 1:
Try this: Taskbar Activate.
Manage the way taskbar window is displayed on the screen :
- displayed or hidden are directly managed by Taskbar Activate.
- delayed activation when mouse is over.
- force activation or not with "always on top" windows.
- make the taskbar always reachable even with full-screen windows.
- works with dynamic screen resolution change, moving the taskbar to another edge of the screen , Windows 98 multi-monitor.
- show a highlight line when mouse is over.
- manage also others Windows bars.
- it can be temporary suspended.
- you can have the taskbar completely hidden (no more one line at the bottom of the screen).
- you can choose the color for hilighting when you go over the taskbar.
- you can stop managing one bar if there is a problem with it.
- even more options.
Solution 2:
Try this application instead: Taskbar Activate.
This worked for me on Windows 7 x64. I disabled all the settings except for the following:
- Delayed activation of the taskbar (200ms)
- Restart the delay when mouse moves
- Go over 'always on top' windows.
