Gaming Taskbar position

[ProtoKun7]

My screen being the size it is, I don't use auto-hide any more. I also remember on our really old computer (back when 1GB was huge, and we on top of that we had a 10GB drive

), I used to have auto-hide on, and I also sometimes switched between having the taskbar at the top or at the bottom (or sometimes when I messed about, having it as big as it would go so it took up more than half the screen).

I have it at the bottom due to a habit of mine I guess. Don't really care where it's at, but I'm too used to having it there for me to even consider changing the location of it.

Top!
*snip*
ALT+SPACE > M > Down Arrow > Move Mouse

Amen to top. I think it'd due to my Mac usage at work... it's natural placement heh.

That little description is a godsend. I haven't had too many problems with that as of recent, other than mIRC for some reason opening w/ the bar under my task bar... at which point i unlock the taskbar, drag to bottom, move IRC, regrag task bar, relock... but i'll have to try this next time.

You win.

It works for resizing windows, too!
ALT+SPACE > S > Any Arrow Key(s) > Move Mouse
Down Arrow: Resize from bottom
Right Arrow: Resize from right
Down and Right Arrow: Resize from corner

I have mine at the bottom, on auto-hide. That way, I only have to see it when I really want to.

...I wish people were more like that sometimes.

I keep it on the bottom. As for having a lot of windows open, well that's what virtual desktops are for. Even when I have to use windows I use a program that gives me virtual desktops. I simply can't live without them anymore.

Why not just:
Win+Down Arrow (if maximized[/b)]?

I have mine at the bottom, I honestly don't understand how you need to have 20 things at the same time unless you use really old programs which need to be opened multiple time(eg no tabs)

Because it's not maximized. When i open a new IRC window, it's a free-floating window that's stuck under the task bar.

 

[EyeZ]

Yep... on the bottom

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

Bottom, it just feels right. I tried having it on top

once, but I didn't like it.

 

[alidsl]

I'm just used to using the bottom and have got into the habit of not having many windows open at any time (due to 512mb of ram) and I used to own a broken laptop with 256mb ram
