Known Issues

• SmartTaskbar is designed for single-monitor users, so Auto Mode or Adaptive Mode does not work correctly when using multiple monitors. I am currently working on a promising multi-monitor solutions.

  SmartTaskbar是为单显示器用户设计的，在使用多显示屏时自动模式不能正确工作。目前我正在研究一种可行的方案。

• Some applications are not compatible with Auto Mode and Adaptive Mode, for example:

  有些应用不能和自动模式兼容，例如：

  • If you use the Dell Display Manager, the taskbar will switch between the Show and Auto-Hide(Hide) frequently.

    如果你同时在使用Dell Display Manager，任务栏会频繁地在显示和隐藏模式间来回切换

  • Some applications, such as Steam, cannot be maximized properly(After the taskbar is hidden, it will leave a blank space).

    有些应用程序如Steam，不能正常的最大化(任务栏隐藏后会留下一道空隙)

Build

• Install Visual Studio 2019.

Notice

The status of the taskbar does not change when the mouse is over the taskbar.

当鼠标在任务栏上方时，任务栏状态不自行改变。
