Photoshop CS4 & CS5: Fullscreen + Taskbar ?

Hi all!

Does anyone find a solution for the bug (for me it is) in Photoshop CS4 & CS5 - in Fullscreen mode the taskbar is no visible (MS Windows)?

In case someone from Adobe read this - COM'ON PEOPLE!!! IS NOT SO HARD TO FIX THIS!!! ADD A SIMPLE CHECK BOX IN OPTIONS, FOR USERS THAT NEEEEEED THEIR TASKBAR IN FULLSCREEN! how many complains do you need to fix this!?? Think again... a lot of people are stuck to CS3 just for this problem!

Best Regards,

Angry CS3 user, dreaming for CS4 & CS5 Photoshop

PS: @ admins -> please, move this to Photoshop -> Windows! It'll be more correct!

    Hello everyone, I got the same problem a few days ago & successfully fixed it up. I have several solutions for that, Simply double tap the menu bar & watch the magic

    Am i missing something here? I virtually always work in full screen mode and i have the taskbar at the bottom with all the other open program tabs there.

    If you use CS4 or CS5 it's not possible to view your taskbar always on top... Are you sure? If you use CS3 then it's ok...

    CS3: Taskbar always visible (currently not installed any loner but i clearly remember)

    CS4: Taskbar always visible

    CS5: Taskbar always visible

    OS: Windows XP and Windows 7

    Are you sure you don't have your taskbar set to autohide or something like that?

    i concur with the original post. having access to glancible information while in fullscreen mode is beneficial, and its unfortunate that this is no longer possible.

    You must be the only person wanting this. It is not a bug. It is just the way it is. Just hit the F key.

    Somebody?

    It's really necessary to see the taskbar in fullscreen mode!

    July 14, 2010

    Would you care to say why it's so important?


    You can always toggle it into sight by pressing the F key.

    I accept it.

    But you have to accept that sometimes you have to adapt and compromise – like me using this crummy forum Jive software.


    I try... For over a month I'm using CS5 instead of my lovely CS3. But it's hard. I really missed my taskbar. Other innovations are fine and I accept them. But this... I don't know.

    Why Adobe make this thing only in Ps? Why you still got taskbar in Illustrator, Indesign, Flash?
