Update Picto. Version 0.7.0 on Windows 11 could turn the taskbar black or hide it while the window was maximized. Picto 0.8.2 includes the fix.
Symptoms
- You maximize the Picto window, or switch it to full screen, and the Windows taskbar turns completely black or is hidden.
- After you resize the window and maximize it again, a black bar the height of the taskbar stays at the bottom of the screen.
Fix
- Check your version with Help › System Info…, which starts with "Picto" and the version.
- Start Picto again and maximize the window.
A user who saw the black taskbar on 0.7.0 confirmed that it is gone in 0.8.2 (issue 3864).
Why this happens
Picto draws its own title bar. When such a window was maximized, Windows sized it to cover the whole screen, taskbar included, took it for a full-screen app and dropped the taskbar's background. The fix keeps a maximized Picto window clear of the taskbar (issue 3144, pull request 3308).
