how does the windhawk mod Better Taskbar Autohide conflict with EP?

[pyrates999]

Do you have the taskbar set to autohide in EP? If so, try turning that off in EP Properties application in Taskbar.

but if i turn off that, the taskbar will not auto hide...
i want it auto hide anytime, even with notification

Is this the windhawk mod? https://windhawk.net/mods/taskbar-autohide-better

It says this: Supports Windows 10 and Windows 11, but due to Windows 11 taskbar design, Hiding the taskbar when there is a notification will make the window notification completely invisible (at least an orange line can be seen on screen edge under Windows 10)

So the notifications will be invisible if you enable this in windows 11.

I suggest you post this on their github as well and include your windows 11 version and build, and EP version that you installed. Here's where it is: https://github.com/ramensoftware/windhawk-mods

And put the url of this issue as well in the description. The source code of for the mod is available, so the author of it could try to recreate it.

I would file an issue for this here instead of a discussion. It will ask you for more information then.
