In Windows 11, once you move the taskbar to the top of the screen, Windows 11 opens the small preview windows above that. That is to say, you can't see them - they're above the screen. Thanks, Microsoft.

This utility fixes that!

This should be mentioned in the readme! It's fantastic! I didn't want to tinker but I am happy to fork and amend the readme, if this is seen to be a desired amendment.

Reason to do this is simply the fact that I am way more familiar with C# and .NET, compared to Rust. With this it would also become easier for me to built a small config utility.

It would also allow me to update the app faster since I won't have to mess with my lack of Rust knowledge.

Not sure if this can be done without admin rights. If not, then never mind.

This would fix some bugs caused by manually resetting the working area and stuff like that.

It's hard to communicate updates to users. To make this a bit easier, I'll want to add an update checking mechanism that notifies the user when a new update is available on Github releases.

Requirements:

• Allow the user to disable update checking
• Allow the user to delay update notifications to the next time the application launches
• Allow users to skip updating (notify only when ANOTHER new release is out)

The best way is to just save it in the config.

• store the current release when version is higher than config version
• check whether latest release is higher than config version. If so, notify user
• if update skipped, change config version to latest release version (latest known release I guess)

Should be easy enough 😅

Perhaps even allow the application to update itself? I don't know :p

I think that it might be better for this application to be a windows service, as it continuously runs on the background. A windows service offers better control over restarting the application as a user.

1. When I open the taskbar (by windows key), and the autohide is enabled, the taskbar scrolls down to the bottom (every time).
2. When I position the cursor on the taskbar the scrolling issue persists until I remove it.

Found an issue. Load TopCenterStart11, and hover over the maximize button to position window in a snap group, and the resulting pop up appears, disappears, appears, etc a number of times. Killing the TopCenterStart11 process fixes issue.

EDIT: discovered that moving the mouse in the popup stops the appearing/disappearing.

Display scale makes start menu off-center.

Context: I am using smallish laptop screen with 1080p resolution, so I am always using display scale 125%. Unfortunately that affects this tool and start menu is not centered again :) Probably something to do with automatic screen size calculations.

Scale 100% 1920x1080, works as expected

Scale 125% 1920x1080, start menu to the right

P.S. I am actually very grateful for this tool. Windows11 bottom taskbar is a complete deal-breaker for me and tools like this are my last resort to upgrade. Thanks!

The notification and control center both have a fixed height. The ACTUAL height is variable. This sucks. Need to figure out a fix.

I wonder if it's possible to get the "real" notification center height..?
