Deskband replacement for Windows 11
« on: September 09, 2025, 11:57:09 am »
Here are two examples for an application in the Windows 11 taskbar.
commandwindow: application launcher
NVMeData: Show NVMe output from smartctl

Both can be placed anywhere (drag the image) on the desktop. Will detect if it's on the taskbar.
+ On top of the taskbar. Supports taskbar auto hide.
- Can't allocate space in the taskbar. Gets invisible if the startmenu comes up. Restore with the next mouse click.

Maybe someone finds a way to solve the "startmenu" issue.

Key functionality: Implement a hook for the system event EVENT_OBJECT_LOCATIONCHANGE.

Feel free to tell me your experiences or any issues, of course.

Rolf
