FancyWM appears to override/enforce taskbar behaviour

Describe the bug It seems that once FancyWM is running, my taskbar remains always hidden, even when I mouse to the bottom of the screen.

Opening "taskbar settings" and unticking the 'autohide' option does nothing, since once I reopen these settings again, this option is again ticked.

Currently, when running FancyWM there's no way (that I have found) to use/invoke the taskbar without just hitting "Win" key - which of course also brings up the start menu.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Log in and have FancyWM running
  2. Open a window in fullscreen
  3. attempt to access/invoke the taskbar
  4. quit FancyWM
  5. taskbar behaviour reverts to expected

Expected behavior What I expected to happen is FancyWM runs in the background, nicely tiling my windows (across multiple monitors). Whenever I need to access the taskbar or tray, mouse to the bottom of the screen - expecting the taskbar to appear.

  • OS: Windows 11 25H2
  • OS Build: 26200.7462
