Start button spacer win 8.1
Sunday, June 15, 2014 by lekofraggle | Discussion: Skinning
Hello,
I have just jumped into the world of skinning with this suite of apps. I thank Wizard for already helping me out a bit.
I have tweaked the regular win 8 theme a bit and have it almost perfect; except, I currently do not use the start button. So, I use start is gone to hide it. If I use the regular win 8 taskbar without running window blinds, start is gone works fine. However, when WB is running, it leaves a space where the start button would be. It does this even if I use the oem taskbar in settings. In my custom theme, I removed the start button, and it seems to show up okay in the preview window, but when I apply the skin, the space is there.
If I run start is gone again, it removes the space for a few seconds, and then the space is back.
Any thoughts?
I asked stardock tech, but they seemed confused by my request.
Here is a screenshot to show the issue.

So, I did figure out a workaround. If you close the windowblinds system tray process, then run startisgone, it is all back to normal.
By the way, if you are wondering, start isgone just hides the button. If you go to the corner of the screen, it is still there.
