LXDE Forums

Hi,
Here is a message I posted on the Raspberry Pi forum and received no responses. Perhaps someone here can get me going in the right direction.

I am developing an application for a hardware product. The application consumes the entire screen (a bit like a kiosk). At the current time the application is configured to consume almost all the screen accept for a thin like at the bottom where the minimized task bar can be seen. The task bar is configured to display a few pixels when minimized.

What I would like to do is completely minimize the taskbar (no pixels) and have the application consume the entire screen. But since the taskbar will be invisible, is there a programmatic method for maximizing the taskbar? The idea is to have a button on the application that when clicked the taskbar become visible. Doable?

Hello,
Can anyone on the LXDE development team help with this?

This is not a question for developers.

Can't you simply start the taskbar when the button is clicked?
Otherwise I don't think this is possible with lxpanel, but surely some other panel supports activation through external command.
