How do you get the taskbar to show over the Magic Mirror?

@Mykle1 I think he means the pixel desktop taskbar

alt text

Don’t really know how to format it but electron can be run in window-mode and still maximized

maybe this will work :

electronOptions: { fullscreen: false, width: 1080, height: 1840 }

In which case he could easily press Alt, then click Window, and then click Minimize.

or, a single step while MM is running: Press Ctrl + M.

I guess it’s a matter of preference. He has many options now. :-)

@Anhalter42 No, I’d like the mirror to stay fullscreen but the top taskbar menu to stay over the top and have a nice and polished look rather than go to the desktop to access it.

@broberg Is there a way I don’t have to minimize the mirror and still be able to access the taskbar?

@PhilsterM9 did you try the electronoption in the config file?

electronOptions: { fullscreen: false, width: 1080, height: 1840 }

This works on my mirror. (this is given that you are running the mirror in portrait mode and with a resolution of 1920x1080px)

@broberg It does work but it shows the blue bar which makes it look bad and untidy. I can hide it but I turn my mirror off every night (to save power) and when it’s turned on, it comes back again. Is there a way to maybe get rig of the blue bar permanently? Or even still have the MM fully maximised and have the taskbar shown over the top?

Thanks

@PhilsterM9 don’t know
These are the electron options.
