We'll keep you posted if we're able to get it working ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/request-system-tray-overlay-on-default-windows-8-taskbar/?ID=11829dab-afe3-4f23-8f8c-ae701565537e#3 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:26:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/request-system-tray-overlay-on-default-windows-8-taskbar/?ID=11829dab-afe3-4f23-8f8c-ae701565537e#3 DisplayFusion I know rainmeter can stay above the taskbar in most instances (if you set a skin to 'stay topmost')
it does go below the taskbar briefly when the start button is pressed, or the taskbar itself is clicked diretly (not items pinned/running from the taskbar just the taskbar itself)

so its atleast possible, and there might even be a better way, that will reduce or even eliminate this 'blink' when the above 2 events happen ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/request-system-tray-overlay-on-default-windows-8-taskbar/?ID=11829dab-afe3-4f23-8f8c-ae701565537e#2 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:22:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/request-system-tray-overlay-on-default-windows-8-taskbar/?ID=11829dab-afe3-4f23-8f8c-ae701565537e#2 DisplayFusion We actually have an open feature request for this, though I'm not sure if it's possible to do at the moment. I've added your vote to the request

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/request-system-tray-overlay-on-default-windows-8-taskbar/?ID=11829dab-afe3-4f23-8f8c-ae701565537e Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:07:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/request-system-tray-overlay-on-default-windows-8-taskbar/?ID=11829dab-afe3-4f23-8f8c-ae701565537e DisplayFusion The default taskbar on windows 8 is quite nice, and honestly yours will never be a perfect clone.., It would be great if you could allow users to overlay your system tray, on their secondary windows 8 taskbars.. ]]>
