Taskbar Activate is a small software application whose purpose is to help you hide or show the Windows taskbar in order to gain more space on your screen.

This is a portable program. You can keep it stored on USB flash drives or other portable devices and carry it with you all the time. Gaining access to the tool’s features requires only opening the executable file because there’s no installation included in the process.

What’s more, you can open it without administrative privileges on the target computer and uninstall it using a quick deletion task because it does not leave entries in your Windows registry.

Taskbar Activate runs in the background without disturbing your work. It can be found sitting quietly in the system tray. You may open the configuration panel via the system tray.

The taskbar is automatically hidden each time it loses focus. It comes in handy especially when running applications in full screen or dealing with ‘always on top’ windows. You can activate or deactivate the automatic hiding mode by simply clicking on the utility’s icon.

A colorful line is displayed at the bottom of the screen when the taskbar is deactivated. If you hover your mouse cursor over it, the taskbar automatically becomes active.

Taskbar Activate comes packed with several configuration parameters under the hood. They are not highly intuitive so you need to experiment a little bit with them in order to understand how the program works.

You are allowed to set a delay time used for activating the taskbar in milliseconds, restart the delay time upon mouse movement, highlight the taskbar when you hover your mouse over it and show a custom color, get back the bar in the background when it is no more in use, completely hide the bar in the background, as well as show icon in the taskbar.

All things considered, Taskbar Activate comes packed with several handy options for helping you activate or deactivate the Windows taskbar. It is not a resource hog so you can keep it running in the background without worrying that it affects the overall performance of the computer.

What's new in Taskbar Activate 2.4:

  • The taskbar can be completly hidden in the background (like it was already for other bars).
  • The color fo hilighted line can be modified.
  • Bars are hidden when Taskbar Activate starts (it is no long necessary to activate them once).
  • Bars management improved.
