Is there a way to ensure that when returning from a virtual desktop where the taskbar is hidden, that the original taskbar size is restored?
I normally keep my taskbar vertical, and fairly wide. When I go to a desktop where the taskbar is hidden (option Configure Desktops > Tools > Hide Deskop components > Taskbar), and then return to the original desktop, I find my taskbar, while still vertical, is now only the width of the program icons. Can dexpot remember the taskbar settings and restore it? This may be a Windows thing, and not possible, but I'm curious.
This all came about because of I'm exploring a minimalist, distraction-free desktop which has been en vogue for a couple of years e.g.
Toward a Distraction-Free Desktop. Again, I keep finding new ways to integrate dexpot features into my daily usage, including setting aside one of my virtual desktops for a dedicated, minimal distraction desktop with a nearly blank wallpaper (option Configure Desktops > Background) and the taskbar hidden as described. There are other solutions (listed in the link), but dexpot would be sufficient if it included this one behavior described above.
