With the show delay, you can prevent the taskbar for a full-screen session being covered by the device's taskbar. A show delay is necessary if the taskbar for the full-screen session is set to be shown automatically and both taskbars are positioned at the same screen edge. If no show delay is set and the user brings up the taskbar for the full-screen session, this will immediately be covered by the device's taskbar. During the show delay time interval, the user has time to move the mouse pointer away from the edge of the screen. |
Taskbar hide delay
Time interval in milliseconds before the taskbar is hidden. This setting is only effective if Taskbar auto hide is is enabled. (Default: 400 400)
