RK Launcher Desktop Space

Hi all.

Is there a way to make RKLauncher keep its position such that if you maximized, say Firefox, it wouldn't overlap with RKLauncer?

I have searched through all the pages that I could find using the Search function here but I still couldn't find one post that answered my problem.

It seems though as if somebody else has already addressed this problem:

"...The built in ability for the dock to create it's own screen margin like the windows taskbar so when the dock changes size maximized windows will also adjust so they wont cover it unless the dock is not set for always on top or is set to auto hide. With that the ability for the user to adjust the distance between the dock and the maximized window or turn the margin on or off."

I posted here on "Customizing Windows" because I understand that this problem may very likely be answered by methods outside of RKLauncher. I saw some picture of someone claiming to use some kind of "Invisible Toolbar" that he docked onto one part of the screen where he put his RKLauncher, so that when he maximized all his windows, his RKLauncher was still visible.

Thank you very much for all your help.

windowfx, or you can google for a little program called hawkeye shellinit and use that to create a margin (the so-called "invisible toolbar").

BRILLIANT! Thank you very much! It works for me, very customizable and oh-so-definitely haxx0r!

OH and AppleThink, are you talking about autohide? Yes, I have been using autohide for like half a year now and then I just realized that I dont want to bother with it anymore. Thanks though.

Thanks again, Bogo.

no no its not autohide. its that RKLauncher is behind the firefox window, so it doesnt show.
