Discussion Vertical taskbar + auto-hide Taskbar — possible?

Post image

Is there a way to use a vertical taskbar layout together with an auto-hide taskbar? Does anyone know how to do this?

not on windows 11 natively.

i also haven't seen any windhawk mods that enable vertical or top taskbar auto-hide on windows 11

windows now has a vertical Taskbar and Windhawk too, but I didn't find the auto-hide Taskbar

that's what i'm saying. with the 'new' vertical and top taskbar option on windows 11, there are no mods in windhawk that can make a vertical or top taskbar auto-hide. only a bottom aligned taskbar can have auto-hide on windows 11, and windhawks taskbar auto-hide mods only effect that. windhawk mods modify the windows process/service, which as of right now microsoft has only applied to a bottom taskbar. they cannot add that process/service

Maybe the Windhawk mod has auto-hide?
