Bar doesn't appear close to taskbar

[jasondeanny]

Love the app! One issue ... the hrhomeruntray displays hovering away from the taskbar. It seems to be creeping up the screen rather than open in the same spot.

Did you ever think about making it movable around the screen? Maybe there's a bug which is displaying the app in an unintended spot.

Hi!! Glad it's being (mostly?) useful for you!

That's happening since you don't have the application set to show (on Windows 11) all the time via the "Taskbar corner overflow" settings:

Currently, the application needs to figure out where to "pop up" based on the screen location of the tray icon, as opposed to the screen location of the taskbar itself. I wanted to do it that way (based on the taskbar size/position), but ran into a slew of problems since the taskbar may be set to "auto-hide", and the underlying behavior differs a bit on Windows 7, Windows 10, and Windows 11. The user might also be using something like Stardock's "Start11" application which would also cause some other problems.

To allow it to work on all the intended platforms and consider that the user might be using a third-party taskbar, this was (at the time, anyway) the best I could do. I am totally willing to see if it can be made better at some point, though.

I spent a great deal of time making sure the tray icon itself "looks good" on all platforms and light/dark themes and have been able to test it as high as 4K resolution to that end. While I know documentation is completely lacking (ain't that always the case?), would you mind setting the application as "ON" in the Windows 11 Taskbar corner overflow settings so that it's always there and see if you find the behavior acceptable?

I hardly ever dismiss and/or say "no" to anything, please don't get me wrong here. I think the complaint/request is legitimate, but I'm not sure I will ever to able to do much better with this one. It was indeed the original intention, it just didn't work out :(
