[Feature enhancement idea / Question] Position Linkbar below/behind Windows Taskbar at the very edge of the screen. #27

Open ghost opened 2 years ago

Linkbar can be placed on all four edges on the screen, but it is always placed before/on top of the Windows Taskbar. It would be great (if this is technically possible) if there would be an option to position Linkbar below/behind Windows Taskbar at the very edge of the screen (below/behind the Taskbar).

Example I use Linkbar to place all of my application icons there to free up space on the Windows Taskbar for the Windows Tabs of open applications. That's why I have Linkbar placed at the bottom. When opening the Start Menu and the Tray Menu they look disconnected from the Taskbar because they appear over the Linkbar (see screenshots). So it would also be more logical and aesthetically pleasing to have Linkbar at the very bottom of the screen below Windows Taskbar.

The public Windows API does not support this feature. Taskbar will always be the first. Let me know if any app does this.

I was kind of expecting that this is technically not possible with current APIs, that's why I was asking so cautiously. I have absolutely no idea how good this is, but some developer has tried something in this regard: https://github.com/torchgm/FloatingTB I will keep an eye open for other programs.

As a workaround and maybe additional feature idea: a function to make Linkbar floating instead of only being docked to a screen edge.
