taskbar woes

Creamy Goodness

you know that description that if you hover your mouse over an icon on your quick launch or your systray you get a description of what that icon does?

mine seems to be hidden by the taskbar itself (see attached print screen)

anyway to fix this?

as you can see my paint skills aren't that great

It happens occasionally.

Just a Windows **** up, really. Nothing can be done, AFAIK.

You have changed the task bar to double height. You can see 2 rows of icons. Grab it on the top and pull it down to half it's size.

Some people prefer having two (or more) rows...it happens with single row taskbars too. It's annoying :mad:

BTW: In powertoys ,TweakUI , General , you have two options
enable ToolTip animation
enable ToolTip fade

I've found that if you move the taskbar to the top of the screen many apps put the windows title bar behind the taskbar - so not sure if app or OS problem

so try the task bar on all sides and check/uncheck the lock/autohide/on top options if available to ID what works and what does not,

also have a look at http://www.annoyances.org if lucky you will find a fix, otherwise just look at all the other niggles in windows which could have been sorted out if they didn't keep changing the user interface (and intergrating IE in to in /rant)
