Win+D is minimizing DF Taskbars

I have 3 monitors, all using DF Taskbars. 2 of them use a vertical Taskbar on the left side. When I hit Win+D to show the desktop those 2 taskbars are also minimized.

This is unfortunately an old bug that we've never been able to solve. From what we can tell we're doing everything right with the taskbars to make Windows ignore them when doing Show Desktop, but it still happens :(

This issue is still open on our list though, so I've added your info to it, and if we find a solution for it in the future, we'll be sure to let you know!

One of my 3 DF Taskbars remains: the one at the bottom of the screen.
So you guys are doing something right.

I found a question on SE where the one answer makes use of User32.dll:

That post itself links to an alternative:

As a work around can the DF detect when Show Desktop is called and then immediately call Show Window to all DF Taskbars?

I've passed those suggestions over to our developers, but they're unfortunately not workable, sorry :(

If we do ever get it sorted out, we'll be sure to let you know.

Thanks!

You guys have a working relationship with Stardock, right? Fences 4 can bring Fences to the top of the Z-order (in Windows 11).

Maybe their developers can shed some light about how they were able to do that with what changed in Windows 11 and you can override that keyboard shortcut. Just wanted to put that out there.

It's a good thought but we don't have the kind of relationship where either of us would be sharing code, we just try to work together to make our apps compatible where we can :)
