Windows Task Bar Auto Show/Hide not working

Sharcap Version 4.0.8990.0

With the Sharpcap window maximised, hovering the cursor at the button of the window fails to reveal the Task Bar. Other applications work correctly.

Correction: That should been "hovering the cursor at the bottom of the window"

Hi,

thanks for the report - I will investigate. It's all down to the change to add the black title bar in dark mode. Looks lovely, but means you have to take over responsibility for all sorts of things like the area covered by the window margins that Windows itself usually takes care of. I expect the window is extending a bit too far downwards and therefore blocking the taskbar activation.

cheers,

Robin
