[Bug 47665] New: (add option to) always show taskbar for the virtual desktop
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47665 Bug ID: 47665 Summary: (add option to) always show taskbar for the virtual desktop Product: Wine Version: 4.11 Hardware: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: explorerframe Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: kolAflash(a)kolahilft.de Distribution: --- Please always show the virtual desktop taskbar. (or add an option to do so) Currently the taskbar only seems to show up if it's needed to display tray icons. Workaround: Run a program which shows a tray icon. E.g. VLC. Beside some people might like the startmenu in the taskbar, the taskbar is useful for switching windows inside the virtual desktop. (as far as I know there's no ALT-TAB for windows inside the virtual desktop) And the taskbar is especially useful if minimized windows disappear completely. Because some windows doesn't minimize to "MS Windows 3.1" style minimized windows, like most "standard windows" do. I observed windows completely disappearing on minimize with some games. Mostly fullscreen game windows and launchers without normal window borders. E.g. Elite Dangerous and it's launcher. https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=16405 (I'm sure the game is actually minimized and not crashed, because I can hear ingame music, see the process in "ps" and restore the game window if there's a taskbar) -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

R. Dierick <o.dierick(a)piezo-forte.be> --- Hello, See also bug 46437. I thought of implementing several taskbar options, but got stuck with issues with window Z order and didn't have time to investigate. --- quote --- For now, the visibility toggling when icon are added/removed from the systray would be retained. Adding an actual 'Automatically hide the taskbar' option is another possible enhancement. --- end quote --- When that last option would be implemented, disabling it will make the taskbar always drawn (independently of the 'always on top' option). Regards. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

You can do that by setting the EnableShell variable, cf. https://wiki.winehq.org/Useful_Registry_Keys
Couldn't get that working. (wine-staging-4.11) Setting the DWORD HKCU\Software\Wine\Explorer\Desktops\EnableShell to 0x1 had no effect. Setting the String HKCU\Software\Wine\Explorer\Desktop to "shell" started wine without virtual desktop.
Otherwise you can also launch the special shell desktop with explorer /desktop=shell.
Works! Thanks! But I have to manually specify the resolution. E.g.: wine explorer /desktop=shell,1920x1080 It won't automatically use the resolution set via winecfg. And I have to start all programs with: wine explorer /desktop=shell,1920x1080 program.exe If I just run wine program.exe the program will appear on a second virtual desktop without taskbar. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
