The one where you used to restart explorer to fix. FancyZones and maximizing a window has always agreed on the desktop bounds, for better or worse. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/powertoys-fancy-zones-not-accounting-for-df-taskbar/?ID=018f15d6-98a9-7509-b540-b22707eb0a00#5 Thu, 25 Apr 2024 15:19:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/powertoys-fancy-zones-not-accounting-for-df-taskbar/?ID=018f15d6-98a9-7509-b540-b22707eb0a00#5 DisplayFusion I've just tested FancyZones here though, and it's respecting the space for the DisplayFusion taskbar, so there must be some other cause for this issue on your machine. Any chance you could attach a quick video showing the issue on your machine? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/powertoys-fancy-zones-not-accounting-for-df-taskbar/?ID=018f15d6-98a9-7509-b540-b22707eb0a00#4 Thu, 25 Apr 2024 15:15:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/powertoys-fancy-zones-not-accounting-for-df-taskbar/?ID=018f15d6-98a9-7509-b540-b22707eb0a00#4 DisplayFusion The DisplayFusion taskbar registers as an AppBar, which Windows then adjusts the workarea of the monitor. If PowerToys is reading the monitor bounds instead of the workarea, we can't do anything about that. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/powertoys-fancy-zones-not-accounting-for-df-taskbar/?ID=018f15d6-98a9-7509-b540-b22707eb0a00#3 Thu, 25 Apr 2024 04:12:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/powertoys-fancy-zones-not-accounting-for-df-taskbar/?ID=018f15d6-98a9-7509-b540-b22707eb0a00#3 DisplayFusion of course you can. Implement taskbar offset in advanced settings. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/powertoys-fancy-zones-not-accounting-for-df-taskbar/?ID=018f15d6-98a9-7509-b540-b22707eb0a00#2 Wed, 24 Apr 2024 20:30:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/powertoys-fancy-zones-not-accounting-for-df-taskbar/?ID=018f15d6-98a9-7509-b540-b22707eb0a00#2 DisplayFusion @Gediminas: That is different than the originally posted issue, and it's not something we can fix. PowerToys likely isn't reading the work area and is instead relying on the monitor bounds. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/powertoys-fancy-zones-not-accounting-for-df-taskbar/?ID=018f15d6-98a9-7509-b540-b22707eb0a00 Tue, 23 Apr 2024 09:20:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/powertoys-fancy-zones-not-accounting-for-df-taskbar/?ID=018f15d6-98a9-7509-b540-b22707eb0a00 DisplayFusion I Still have this issue. Powertoys sets the zone(using fancy zones) excluding the original windows taskbar, but does not account for the DF taskbar and draws behind the DF taskbar. Any suggestions how to fix this? ]]>
