While focused on the monitor with the fullscreen content everything acts as it should. But if I click off to another monitor the taskbar comes back, covering the fullscreen content. ]]> RE: Taskbar won't hide when window is fullscreen https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-wont-hide-when-window-is-fullscreen/?ID=2138efcc-edcc-489b-8360-e37ef6d1ceac#9 Thu, 23 Dec 2021 18:18:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-wont-hide-when-window-is-fullscreen/?ID=2138efcc-edcc-489b-8360-e37ef6d1ceac#9 DisplayFusion What application is this happening with?

Has this issue been solved? It has been over a year since the last post.

SUMMERY:
While using DisplayFusion taskbars (Disable windows taskbar) the taskbar still shows while in fullscreen. To fix, you could enable 'Force DisplayFusion to treat this as a full screen application', but then the open program shows on the windows taskbar on main monitor, no matter what monitor the application is on. (Despite taskbar mode being set to 'All taskbars show relevant windows')

Thanks in advance for the help. ]]> RE: Taskbar won't hide when window is fullscreen https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-wont-hide-when-window-is-fullscreen/?ID=2138efcc-edcc-489b-8360-e37ef6d1ceac#7 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 16:08:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-wont-hide-when-window-is-fullscreen/?ID=2138efcc-edcc-489b-8360-e37ef6d1ceac#7 DisplayFusion Hello,

We are aware of the issue, and are looking into a permanent fix.

I tried to add Chrome to compatibility,and works, but the issue now is that the taskbar starts blinking. Any workaround? ]]> RE: Taskbar won't hide when window is fullscreen https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-wont-hide-when-window-is-fullscreen/?ID=2138efcc-edcc-489b-8360-e37ef6d1ceac#5 Sat, 17 Oct 2020 01:15:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-wont-hide-when-window-is-fullscreen/?ID=2138efcc-edcc-489b-8360-e37ef6d1ceac#5 DisplayFusion

Hello,

If you head to the compatibility settings in Display Fusion, add chrome, and check off "Force Display Fusion to Treat This As A Full screen Application" does that help?

Thanks!


That fixes the fullscreen issue, but now all non-minimized Chrome windows end up displaying on both the main Windows taskbar and the DisplayFusion taskbar. (I have it set to display in the relevant taskbar only)

This is not a compromise I can do since I have multiple windows open and its too much clutter. ]]> RE: Taskbar won't hide when window is fullscreen https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-wont-hide-when-window-is-fullscreen/?ID=2138efcc-edcc-489b-8360-e37ef6d1ceac#4 Fri, 16 Oct 2020 17:31:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-wont-hide-when-window-is-fullscreen/?ID=2138efcc-edcc-489b-8360-e37ef6d1ceac#4 DisplayFusion Hello,

Firefox full screen works fine, I'm only seeing this issue with Chrome fullscreen. Quite annoying since I usually put a video full screen on my side monitor. ]]> RE: Taskbar won't hide when window is fullscreen https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-wont-hide-when-window-is-fullscreen/?ID=2138efcc-edcc-489b-8360-e37ef6d1ceac#2 Fri, 16 Oct 2020 01:01:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-wont-hide-when-window-is-fullscreen/?ID=2138efcc-edcc-489b-8360-e37ef6d1ceac#2 DisplayFusion I am having the same issue. Ive turned off the show taskbar in front of full screen application when they lose focus option to no avail. Ive attached my settings file in case that helps. Ive looked at other threads and so far none of those solutions are helping.

The normal windows taskbar does not stay on top of a full screen chrome window, but DisplayFusion does :P ]]> Taskbar won't hide when window is fullscreen https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-wont-hide-when-window-is-fullscreen/?ID=2138efcc-edcc-489b-8360-e37ef6d1ceac Thu, 15 Oct 2020 23:01:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-wont-hide-when-window-is-fullscreen/?ID=2138efcc-edcc-489b-8360-e37ef6d1ceac DisplayFusion Hello, recently I've found that my taskbars aren't hiding when a window is fullscreen. I've tried fiddling with the settings with no avail. How might this be resolved? ]]>
