Extend windows below the taskbar (in transparent mode) #1029

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When using the transparent taskbar, maximizing a window doesn't look very pleasant: image or image The taskbar is visually disrupting, it doesn't look very elegant.

Describe the solution you'd like

If the window (e.g. firefox) would extend past the taskbar margin, it would look a lot more pleasant: image or image The window does this when the taskbar is set to auto-hide. (that's how I got the screenshots) I'd imagine it's possible to remove the taskbar's alignment border/margin to have the maximized window maximize all the way even though auto-hide is disabled. I want to stress that I don't want the taskbar to hide, I think that's very annoying. I want it to stay visible.

Another idea would be to actually set the auto-hide option to ON, but then somehow prevent the taskbar from actually hiding. I don't know which one is easier, removing the alignment border or preventing the taskbar from hiding somehow.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I tried googling on how to remove the taskbar border or how to increase the timeout before the taskbar hides, but to no avail. I also tried to compare the differences in the registry backups I created before and after en/disabling auto-hide, but couldn't really figure anything out.
