Describe the bug When pressing the show desktop button on the bottom right on the taskbar, it minimizes all windows to show desktop, widgets should not be minimized by this but they stll are.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Enable Select the far corner of the taskbar to show the desktop option in taskbar settings.
  2. Press the bottom right corner of your taskbar
  3. The widgets will be minimized/hidden too. Pressing the bottom right corner again will bring them back but that will also maximize all windows.

Expected behavior The widgets shouldn't hide when I press the show desktop button, since widgets are supposed to be a part of the desktop.

Desktop

Duplicate of https://github.com/creewick/uWidgets/issues/8 This functionality is broken in Windows 11 API.

I tried to fix it in version 0.5.3. It's very experimental fix, so please let me know whether it is working on your machine or not

Nevermind, it was very buggy. I guess, there's no good way to fix it as it's a Windows limitation. I will continue to search for a more stable fix
