Taskbar Idea

I know most of us here use a shadow program, but it's not very OSX-like because well, the taskbar is "always on top" and when we maximize our window or if our window goes near the taskbar, we'll have shadow over the caption / titlebar.

It would be great if someone could write a tiny little app that could sort of keep the taskbar down. It should be possible cause in Rainlendar, there's this option "on the bottom" or something that keeps Rainlendar always on the bottom of all the windows opened. Maybe that command could be use for this app.

Edit: rephrased.

I'm not totally sure if this is what you want, but it IS possible to turn off the Always On Top property of the taskbar.. I'm on a 98 machine, so bear with me if these instructions aren't perfect, as I'm running from memory.

Right click on the taskbar, click "Properties", then there should be some sort of a "Taskbar" tab in the window that pops up, and an option in there that says "Keep Taskbar on Top of Other Windows" or something like that, make sure to uncheck it, and click "OK".

If that's not what you're aiming for, then I didn't quite understand your post, sorry.

Yea, that sort of worked but when you hit maximize, the taskbar will go under the maximized window.

Hmn... you could combine that with WindowsFX, and adjust the settings in that program so the windows don't maximise over your start menu, but I forget where that setting is in WinFX. Just look for something about "Max size of maximised windows" or something to that effect...
