Feature request: Hide linkbar when a window is maximized #25

Hi. It may be great if you could add a feature to the Linkbar to automatically hide when a window is maximized, and when the window is minimized or only showing desktop, the Linkbar shows up. Would you consider to add this feature?

Microsoft removed this functionality from the WinAPI since Windows Vista. Currently I don't know how to do that. If you know of any apps with this feature, let me know.

As far as i know, the app that having this feature is Winstep Nexus dock. It has option to keep showing on desktop, but hidden when another app is maximized. I think it works by keeping the dock app under another window and when the mouse cursor bumps into bottom of screen, the dock app is brought to front and the window focus is changed to the dock app.
