Taskbar sits on top of Dolphin - achandab - 06-04-2010

Hi guys

Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and how to solve it.

When running dolphin at 1920 x 1080 which is the same rez as my desktop the taskbar sits on top of dolphin so part of the game is not visable. Is there a way to have dolphin sit on top of the taskbar?

Running: Windows 7 64 bit. Dolphin Rev 5568

Fullscreen?
Or: Right click on the taskbar --> properties --> automatcly hide taskbar.

Or press Alt-Enter to toggle fullscreen and press it again to pull it back

thanks for the quick response guys...

It is in full screen and i do press alt- enter to toggle to full screen mode. but the taskbar still sits on top of the dolphin screen...

i can choose auto-hide task bar, but id rather not as its annoying when i have to do other things.

i think the problem is that the rez is 1920 x 1080 so it goes all the way down to the bottom of the screen and doesnt sit on top of the task bar like all other applications. ie: internet explorer

Do you have 2 monitors? Cuz then I know the problem, but if you only have 1 then you have to search for something like: taskbar always on top or something, tat's all I can think of right now.

Right-click the taskbar-check unlock then move to the right-side to see what will happen

I am having the exact same issue and for the life of me cant figure out how to fix it. I dont want to autohide the taskbar. Isnt there a way to have dolphin emulator Always on top?

Aparently, there is no way of disabling the "always on top" option for the windows 7 taskbar, Microsoft removed this.
Here you have a tutorial on how to do it:
