What's new

A full overhaul of taskbar band visibility — the band no longer blinks or vanishes while the taskbar is visible, and reacts fast when you actually go fullscreen:

  • No more random disappearing. The band could get painted over when the shell raised the taskbar above it (toggling windows from the tray did this every time) — burial is now detected the moment the z-order changes and fixed before you can see a frame of it
  • Fullscreen-game ghosts ignored. After leaving an exclusive-fullscreen game, its DWM-cloaked window could linger invisibly over the taskbar for hours and trick the band into hiding — the probe now asks DWM what is actually rendered
  • Transient tool overlays filtered. Screenshot tools (e.g. ShareX) briefly cover the taskbar with invisible windows on every window maximize — a hide verdict is now re-confirmed before it is applied, so sub-second overlays never blink the band
  • Snappy real fullscreen. When the taskbar is covered by the active window (a fullscreen video player, a game), the band hides in ~250 ms and returns just as quickly when you leave
