What the title says. When I click on the icon in the tray, only the name of my monitor pops up, but no slider at all. What could be the problem?

Sorry, forgot to mention my OS, it is Win 11, 23H2 (build 22631.3880)

Thank you for the log and OS information. Are you using any tool which manipulates the taskbar of desktop?

Jaksonas commented 1 month ago

Yes, I am, Start11. You think it is possible to run together with it?

Most probably. That kind of tool may mess up the elements inside the taskbar. I cannot reproduce it though.

Jaksonas commented 1 month ago

Maybe some particular settings in Start11 that causes this? There are a lot of settings, some quite unintuitive to reach.

Could you run a console app to check the windows on the desktop and post the result? The code of the app is shown in the gist https://gist.github.com/emoacht/6b38452df693493f967f29c965684f81

Hello, again, I managed to fix it: I just lowered the taskbar's size (width). Now a slider pops up normally, when I click on you program. However, I would like to use a wider taskbar like before together with Monitorian. Think you could adjust the code?

What is "wider" taskbar? I think a Taskbar can be taller but cannot be wider. Anyway, I don't know what is happening and so I asked to run the console app. And please not post by email.

Jaksonas commented 1 month ago

Yes, sorry, meant taller (in Start11 the setting is called 'width').

Ok, so, what exactly do I do when opening the console? Copy something? I am not exactly savvy in this area, sorry.

Run it and the result wil be shown. You can redirect the output to a file 

[path of console app] > [path of file to redirect]

And please stop posting by email.
