I'm using the auto hide feature in W8.1, but even using it still leaves a thin amount of the taskbar, presumably to allow you to see pinned icons and such, which really bugs me, is there any way to hide it completely?

My desktop look is empty so all I have is a nice wallpaper. My Windows taskbar has the "Taskbar Appearance" setting to "Auto-hide the taskbar". Although hidden, it leaves a thin top layer so you can still see it a bit, and where the pinned shortcuts are. Is it possible to totally have it hidden without a trace? This is a serious question. It really bugs m.

How do I create a button on my taskbar along with the time and stuff that performs a specific task? I wanted to be able to disable and enable my keyboard with the help of a keyboard shortcut, but I realized that once I disabled my keyboard with a shortcut, I wouldn't be able to use the keyboard to enable it again. So, I want a button on my taskbar that does this for me with the click of a button, thus not requiring my keyboard. Thanks.

I was trying to control Ubuntu 14.4.1 Launcher's behavior. I want it to auto-hide every time I have browser window like firefox maxmaized. I found this solution:  #!/bin/bash  ## Change value of "hide" to the command which worked for you to hide the panel hide='gsettings set com.canonical.Unity2d.Launcher hide-mode 1;'  ## Change value of "show" to the command which worked for you to show the panel when it was hidden show='gsettings set com.canonical.Unity2d.Launcher hide-mode 0;'  ## Look for the grep value, add a new browser or application name followed by "\|" eg: 'firefox\|google\|chromium' while [ 1 ]  do z=$(wmctrl -l -p | grep -i 'firefox\|google');     if [ -n "$z" ]; then          eval $hide     else         eval $show     fi;     sleep 2; done;   but is seems too old to work then I found   I tried to combine the two scripts together so here is what I did:  #!/bin/bash  AUTOHIDE=$(dconf read /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/launcher-hide-mode) if [[ $AUTOHIDE -eq 1 ]] then      dconf write /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/launcher-hide-mode 0 else      dconf write /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/launcher-hide-mode 1 fi  ## Look for the grep value, add a new browser or application name followed by "\|" eg: 'firefox\|google\|chromium' while [ 1 ]  do z=$(wmctrl -l -p | grep -i 'firefox\|google');     if [ -n "$z" ]; then          eval $hide     else         eval $show     fi;     sleep 2; done;   But script doesn't work. can anybody refine this script to me and get it to work?

I know how to Hide (Cmd+H) or Minimize (Cmd+M) a focused window in OS X, but I can't find a keyboard shortcut or even a menu item to restore, unhide, unminimize, or otherwise show a window that I've hidden or minimized.  Anyone have a suggestion?

Is there a possibility to hide all borders and bars in firefox like address bar, navigation bar, window title and tabs, so the remaining area is just the content area of the browser?   I would like to make a movie of a web application I wrote, but have to film it in a bigger resolution than the app itself. I simply want to show the app on a background without all the browser stuff.  The best method would be via keyboard shortcut, so that I can reenable all the stuff again.

I have two questions :  First, I wanted to hide Ubuntu’s side-bar, so I set the settings in appearance to 'autohide'. The side bar did indeed disappear but when I roll over the left side, the side bar don't appear again. So, I am using a virtual box. Can it explain the fact that this bar doesn't show again when it is set to autohide.   Second, assuming I wouldn't be able to come over the problem, I pined to the dock every element of the sidebar, except the dash home. Is it possible either to pin it in the dock or to launch it from the terminal ?

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.1 at the moment, and system windows like the Files window, Terminal or System Software open behind the Unity launcher, which means they are partially hidden behind it. I can move them with Alt+F7, but I'd like a more permanent solution to this problem.

The new Win+0..9 shortcut seems good, but it only seems useful for the first few apps in the taskbar. Is it possible to make Windows prefix the icon with a number 1 to 9 ?

Is there a way to disable Chrome's custom window skinning such that it lets the OS draw standard window title bars, borders, etc, in the style I have configured the OS to draw such things with?  I didn't spend all that time with the control panel setting a window style that pleases me just to have applications decide that they know better than me how I want my windows to look. As a practical matter, having each application decide for itself which color cues to use to show "this is the active window" becomes very confusing.  Alternatively, is there a tool somewhere that reads the Windows 7 color and window style settings and produces a Chrome theme that imitates them?

I have two screens on my Windows 8.1 computer (with Classic Shell Start Menu installed). The thing is that I would like to have the taskbar's  (where the clock and all the icons like Skype or Spotify are, at the right) on both of my screens, and not only on the primary one.  Could you help me ? I would like not to install a heavy and paid software like DisplayFusion.
