How to Change: Right click on Desktop and select Screen Resolution In this Dialog look for "Make Text and Other Items Larger or Smaller" and click it This takes you to the DPI settings. You should try altering this because I found on my machine any custom DPI settings other than the Windows defaults (Small, Medium and Large) cause the buggy bug which you experience I hope this works for you. I completely understand the need for Windowed Fullscreen Mode to be displayed properly b/c I also use Skype and like to play music in the background. Having the option to quick Alt+Tab is a must for being able to control these things as well keeping an eye on network stuffs. | ||

I always had it so in windowed mode, the bottom of Starcraft 2 was just above my task bar, so that my mouse would stay confined and I didn't have to auto hide my task bar. But, today I loaded Starcraft up and its slighter longer vertically and there doesn't seem to be a way to resize it. I can't play fullscreen because I'm using my 32" T.V. as a monitor, and it lags hardcore in fullscreen in the mid to late game. | ||

Your PC should perform better when you have SC2 in non-windowed full screen. And about the problem in this thread, I think the OP needs to uncheck the "Keep taskbar on top of other windows" checkbox in the Taskbar properties dialog. | ||

To do this, create a file with a ps1 extension, for example HideTaskbar.ps1. Then write the following in it: $Signature = @" [DllImport("user32.dll")]public static extern bool ShowWindowAsync(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow); "@ $Style = 0 # SW_HIDE $WindowHandle = (Get-Process -Name explorer).MainWindowHandle $Win32ShowWindowAsync = Add-Type -MemberDefinition $Signature -Name "Win32ShowWindowAsync" -Namespace Win32Functions -PassThru $Win32ShowWindowAsync::ShowWindowAsync($WindowHandle, $Style) | Out-Null $Win32ShowWindowAsync::ShowWindowAsync($WindowHandle, $Style) | Out-Null To start it, right-click on it and select "Run with PowerShell". After it is executed, the taskbar will completely disappear. Desktop icons remain. Windows key continues to work and when pressed the menu appears out of nowhere. This code will try to move the exlorer (with taskbar) to the background twice. I don't know the details of why the code needs to hide the window twice and why it completely disappears after that. But it solves the issue itself. Sometimes the script doesn't work the first time and you have to run it again. In order to put the taskbar back in place use another script. Create a file with a ps1 extension, for example RestartExplorer.ps1. And write the following in it: Stop-Process -Name explorer To start it, right-click and select "Run with PowerShell". This script will stop and restart the explorer and the taskbar as well. | ||
