    When Taskbar is on top, the opened-pinned-programs' highlight lines are still on top


    When the taskbar is set to top of the screen, the opened-pinned-programs highlight lines are still on top of the icons .




    The best case would be to have a setting to specify whether they should be on top of the icons or at the bottom .


    But while there is no such, is it possible to move them to the bottom, maybe via registry edit ?

    :)

    Line in taskbar under open programs

    When I first upgraded to Windows 10, the colored line under open programs appeared in the task bar. Some time ago, however, those lines disappeared. I have several programs pinned to my task bar, so now I have to click on each program to see if it
    is open or not, as the line does not appear.

    Those lines, however, do appear when I re-size the taskbar by enlarging it.

    I checked my screen resolution
    and it is the correct, recommended one.

    Taskbar at top of screen - Some apps' title-bars open UNDERNEATH


    I only get it with apps that were previously using the space the taskbar was going to use before it was moved to the top. For example with HWMonitor put it to the top of screen when task bar is at bottom:

    Close app and then move taskbar to top

    Open HWMonitor and it remembers its old position (the top is hidden under the taskbar)

    Resize (here I just made it narrower) and the top jumps so it is no longer under the taskbar and will not go under it again.

    So perhaps moving the taskbar like you are is perpetuating the problem.

    Try making your app not full screen and in the middle of the screen. Close it then move taskbar to top. Then open your app again.

    Interestingly the taskbar properties box goes over the taskbar if taskbar is at the top and under it if the taskbar is at the bottom but that is another story...

    When Taskbar is on top, the opened-pinned-programs' highlight lines are still on top

    Since the invention of the Windows Taskbar, if you put it at TOP of screen some programs open behind it. WILL MS EVER FIX THIS?!

    I have just tried this to give you a comparison result.

    I put the taskbar at the top of the screen then opened WMP. WMP did not go behind the taskbar - it just maximised to the line of the taskbar exactly as it does when the taskbar is at the bottom of the screen.

    Perhaps you do not have fully-compatible display drivers.

    If you want to suggest a change to Microsoft then use the Feedback hub link you'll find in your Start menu.
