Hide the "peek" line in taskbar? [Request]

[d0x360]

I don't know if this is out of the scope of the project but I've been trying to find a way to hide the peek vertical line at the end of the taskbar in Win10 with no luck unless I use a program that's... Untrustworthy to draw over it with the taskbar color.

I would kill (not really) for an option to hide that stupid line because I'm concerned about burn in.

There must be a way to do it... and I'm thinking the registry but who knows. I haven't had any luck at all and I'm hoping you could find a way and add it to the program.

Thanks for your time.

Hi d0x360,

Try to hide the "peek" line by WindowTextExtractor v1.9.0. Test it for several days. If everything works well I will add this feature to the next versions SSM.

Will do, and thanks! I'll report back soon.

@d0x360 One of my favorite programs, +7 Taskbar Tweaker has this option, although it does a lot more than that. It allows a ton of ways to interact with the taskbar, but is prob overkill for what you're looking for

It is. I actually made a program that will check if the line is there and remove it. It's 1.14kb (most of it's the icon, it's only about 15 lines of c++) and I launch it on boot. Sometimes the line comes back (not sure how) but in that case I hit a G key on my Logitech kb, it launches the program and poof! Gone.

Well I actually made 2 programs. One that runs in the background and is hotkey controlled. It can hide the line and taskbar based on which hotkey is used. That one is also very tiny in file size and just a few more lines of code.

I actually read an article yesterday about Win11 that said removing the peek line is a settings option but unlike in Win10 the setting actually works. So that's a plus for when Win11 is actually ready to daily drive but that's probably a few months off at least.
