Windows XP user here. The problem I have is that my desktop is 1360x768 and this new Sisi build goes *underneath* my taskbar in windowed mode. The current Tranquility build, like all EVE clients for as long as I can remember when in windowed mode goes over the taskbar happily. Since 768 is the smallest the Sisi client can be shrunk its permanantly stuck under the bar and any miniturised EVE-windows are lost forever. I can't make my desktop any deeper on my monitor without making it unreadable so I'm stuck that I can either play EVE fullscreened slowing down navigation and alt-tabbing or I can lose the bottom pixels.
inb4 "Set your taskbar to auto-hide or something," thats a workaround to an issue that didn't used to exist.

Originally by: Pierced Brosmen The issue of Eve not displaying over the task bar is not an EVE issue but is actually a win 7/Vista issue. Basically any window that follows the rules on resizing (which the old EVE client (TQ) did not) has this issue.
I have windows XP and the taskbar issue also. Its so frustrating beacuse I only play EVE in windowed mode and don't wish to either change that or the auto-hiding taskbar.
I hope that CCP offer the ability to turn this off and that the window returns to normal.

Originally by: bh75 Have you tried to turn off the "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows" option? This is not autohide. Go here to read up on it.
Yes. EVE is still on top and it sometimes just plays merry hell with the *other* programs I'm running at the time. The whole point of running EVE in windowed mode is to be running a normal computer behind it that I can alt-tab to. I don't want access to the taskbar while in EVE but I do want access to it (and it on top like normal) of every other program that I use normally. I'm not looking to bury the resize idea, just looking for an opt-out for those of us with no use for it who find it really detrimental.
Originally by: Kazuo Ishiguro Have you tried using the window relocator in EVEmon? I use it with win 7 and it allows me to play in 'fake fullscreen' with the eve window covering over the taskbar (until I click on the desktop on one of my other monitors).
I don't have multiple monitors, I have one small one so the resize feature is just one big headache to me. I havn't tried that feature and I will check it out, hopefully it'll still allow me to dualbox. But this is still just a workaround to an issue that didn't exist before this build and hopefully won't exist in Incurision.

Originally by: Tsabrock For those of you that have the task bar "getting in the way", this can be easily adjusted on XP, Vista, or 7. With the latter two, simply right-click on the task bar, select properties, and check the option to "Auto-Hide the Taskbar".
Thats not a solution, its a work-around... and its terrible. It works alright for getting rid of the bar, but the point of playing EVE in windowed mode (as opposed to simply playing in fullscreen) is to have access to the rest of the PC. Alt-tabbing only does so much, when you are out of EVE and into other programs not having the taskbar is tedious and irritating in a million small ways (and several big ones!).
I'm not against the feature and I'm assuming like Incursion Character creation and Incursion PI thats its a WIP and it'll be fixed before release, I have a second monitor (which I mostly watch TV on these days) and will probably use multiple monitors too on occasion - but it needs to work correctly, Autohiding is NOT an effective solution.
