is there a software that can hide the taskbar ?

[donald]

For clarity do you want to hide items on the taskbar or the actual taskbar itself?

Tray everything minimizes apps to taskbar and hides items in taskbar.
Just set it to "Minimize Tray Everything Instead of closing it" & "Hide Tray Everything from tray when minimized" Then "no tray icon for minimized windows"

Do not forget your hotkeys to recover.

This leaves a nice clean tray

tried google with your needs in mind
result pick#1

This command line tool allow to remove the taskbar in any situation, whatever the actual taskbar configuration is (autohide active or not)!

With the autohotkey command described above, it is not working when the taskbar is set in autohide mode.

The tool can!

Just run it twice: one with h option (hide) and one time with the d option (disable). The hide option will hide the taskbar when not in autohide mode (already displayed on the screen) and the disable option will make it impossible to show anymore if you bring the mouse to the screen edge in autohide mode

To remove the taskbar

RunWait "Tb.exe" h,"C:\",Hide
RunWait "Tb.exe" d,"C:\",Hide

To make the taskbar appear again

RunWait "Tb.exe" s,"C:\",Hide
RunWait "Tb.exe" e,"C:\",Hide


And now you have a real working taskbar killer

As it is command line it will not reach the database by itself ... but if anyone wanted to setup a gui ...

Hide Taskbar

... Hide Taskbar with hotkey
Simply download and run the app. Use hotkeys Ctrl+Esc to hide or un-hide the taskbar. ... developed by Ritesh Kawadkar for Windows Club. Tested on Windows 7. Should work on Windows 10/8 and Windows Vista too!

Works in XP SP3

This should probably be added.

hi
have to to create an autohotkey exe and run as service?

Re: result pick#1
Tool is command line.

To run press windows key & r at same time (run dialog starts)
then type cmd.exe (command line starts)
finally type x:\tb.exe (help shows options in command line & x is your flash drive letter replace with the correct letter)

To hide you would add a space then type h (you would of course type x:\tb.exe first)
To disable you would add a space then type d (you would of course type x:\tb.exe first)
To enable you would add a space then type e (you would of course type x:\tb.exe first)
To show you would add a space then type s (you would of course type x:\tb.exe first)

If you closed the command line console you would need to reopen it before executing new commands.

Of course you could create a batch file to launch this and use Bat to exe to automate it and hide the console two batches could do it.

Taskbar Control

TheFreeWindows created Taskbar Control, a free and very small program that will let you hide the taskbar (even the 1 pixel line that “auto hide” lets visible) as long as you need, without changing a permanent system option, but just with a keyboard shortcut. By using the same hot key once more you can show / unhide the taskbar again, whenever you want. ...

Downloaded from Taskbar Control

Click Cancel for download offer & delete unnecessary files. (TaskbarControl.ini is created at first run which blocks further offers.)

Taskbar Eliminator

Simply press and hold Control+Alt+T to bring up the Preferences window, from which all options can be adjusted. Press and hold Alt + T to immediately show or hide the taskbar directly.

Download links provide 2 versions 2.9 and 3.0
2.9 instantly minimizes taskbar on launch and started minimized it also set itself to run at windows start.
3.0 launched interface and set itself to run at windows start.

The only setting is run at windows start, & I am betting it saves to registry each time.

The attached might be to your liking but, then again, maybe not.

It's not pretty; it's not elegant: it's a kludge, really.

It's about the best I can manage but it sort of does what you want.

hi
what is it?
thanks

hi
do you know my antivirus barks

@Giulia

I changed it so that it reacts if it is the active window or not rather than if the program is running or not: I think that makes more practical sense.

(The attached file has been scanned at https://www.virustotal.com/en/ and https://virusscan.jotti.org/en-US with these respective virus-detection results: 0/54 and 0/18. So, it's clean by them.)

thank you so much!

[donald]

so could you confirm this is not accurate on your software and OS

In Photoshop, the full screen modes are in the View > Screen Mode submenu. Or press F to cycle through each of the three screen modes. In Lightroom, the full screen modes are in the Window > Screen Mode submenu. Or press Shift+F to cycle through each of the screen modes or press F for the full screen preview.
