<description><![CDATA[Awesome! Can't wait to try them out
Regarding the previous script, I could tell it would trigger something, as the little icon popped up when I hit the key combination, but as far as bringing the taskbar back from transparency/invisibility, nothing.
Thanks for the effort!]]></description>

Hello dear friends at displayfusion!<br/>
<br/>
I was wondering if anyone could assist me with a script that worked in the following way:<br/>
<br/>
Whenever a display is disconnected, the auto-hide setting for the taskbar would change from "auto-hide" to "disable" and back to "auto-hide" again!<br/>
<br/>
I have this annoying issue that every time I disconnect my tablet monitor, my main screen's taskbar goes missing and that procedure I mentioned is the only way to bring it back without restarting the machine.<br/>
<br/>
Thank you so much!
