Auto-hiding taskbar?

[Seff]

I'm completely normal and well-balanced, I just have oddest sense of humor in the world.

SEFF! I'm with you, man!

**** the taskbar. The cleanliness of Chrome would be sullied by it.

Always have it up. But then I actually use my PC for productive purposes sometimes.

 

[Seff]

So do I - I alt-tab around.

I have mine on auto-hide.  It's been like that ever seen my Dad built my first computer.  I keep it there out have habit, but it doesnt bother me to have it up. 

Auto-hide is useful for keeping naughty minimized windows undiscovered by room intruders.

Mines always there. Tried auto-hide once and it made me sad.

I have a custom theme for windows that makes the taskbar much more sleek and less intrusive than ever.

And alt-tab is faster than moving the mouse all the way down to the bottom.

Heck, between gestures and keyboard shortcuts, I'm damned fast.

 

[Seff]

That's what she told me, yeah.

Alt-tab doesn't work when you're running things which don't have a window, nor does it help with things like connection status monitors which attach to the taskbar. Plus it's a lot easier to create shell shortcuts and place them on the taskbar to run something than having to open a command prompt and pass the switches to the exe whenever you want to open it.

 

[Seff]

Point taken. Ignorance is bliss. :3

It saddens me that I understand what Archonsod is going on about; and it saddens me more I realise he's simplifying it substantially.

Back when I was young I too was blissfully ignorant....
