Normally pressing F key in Photoshop changes to Full Screen Mode (on top of taskbar), I've read that there are some issues with 1607 though but upgrading to 2017 appears to fix the issue.

hi

yes , but 2017 is very slow and buggy , you can read in their forum

i would like to use and write a script for this

it should wait for photoshop.exe and hide the taskbar , as soon i close photoshop it should un hide the taskbar

 

thanks

Could always use taskbar control. Hot key to hide show taskbar.

Ok, here is the skinny. The settings for auto hiding the taskbar are not as simple as on / off unless you use the "built in" function. Changing the registry requires you to kill the 'explorer.exe' process and reload it for the changes to happen.. Sucks.. So.. Here is a quick and dirty work around. It will do the mouse movements to accomplish what you want, if your taskbar is on the bottom. It's not the ideal solution but works.

#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 1) ;1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase
Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1) ;1=absolute, 0=relative, 2=client

Local $Properties

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Quit")

Run("Notepad.exe")

While 1
    Sleep(10)
    If ProcessExists("Notepad.exe") Then
        _HideTaskBar()
        _Quit()
    EndIf
WEnd

Func _HideTaskBar()
    $x = @DesktopWidth / 2
    $y = @DesktopHeight - 1

    MouseClick("right", $x, $y, 1, 1)
    MouseClick("left", $x + 5, $y - 5, 1, 1)
    Sleep(100)
    If WinExists("Taskbar and Start Menu Properties") Then
        $Properties = WinGetPos("Taskbar and Start Menu Properties")
        WinActivate("Taskbar and Start Menu Properties")
        MouseClick("left", $Properties[0] + 45, $Properties[1] + 118, 1, 1)
        Send("{ENTER}")
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_HideTaskBar

Func _Quit()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Quit

You can do that by doing one single AutoIT line. If you want the simple way : Just kill explorer.exe the task bar will desapear. But you willl still be able to use the computer.

You finish your script or your task by starting again explorer.exe.
