--- Comment #2 from Peter Humphrey <pe...@prh.myzen.co.uk> ---
Hi Jack. No, this has nothing to do with KMyMoney. I couldn't change that at
the time, but I've done so now. I hope I've picked the right component; I was
looking for something like 'desktop'.
I don't want the content of the bar changed in the least - I just want to
control when it unhides itself. I'm sure the auto-hide feature has lots of
fancy logic to anticipate when I'm likely to need to see the bar; my method
would bypass that to leave a simple visible/hidden toggle controlled by where
the mouse pointer is on the screen: show the bar if the pointer is in its
region, hide it otherwise.
Two reasons for this:
1. As you said, to leave plenty of uncluttered screen space;
2. I still prefer keyboard to mouse whenever it's possible (there were no mice
in 1972). I can't remember ever starting or resuming a program by clicking an
icon on the task bar; and I don't have icons on my desktop. To me, the bar is
just a nuisance most of the time. It should stay out of sight until I call for
it. That won't be often, provided that a keyboard short-cut still opens the
task manager.
I hope that's clearer now. :)
