| | expected behavior with Sidebar and maximized window? I'm running Vista Home Premium with Sidebar. The background of Sidebar is translucent which I expect to be its behavior. When I maximize a program's window, that window does not extend under the Sidebar, which is what I expect, however the translucent background of Sidebar then becomes solid black. Expected behavior? If not, pass this on as a suggestion or a bug. Thanks, DH |

| | Re: expected behavior with Sidebar and maximized window? I'm back. I still have the situation where if Sidebar _is_ Always On Top, _and_ a window is maximized, the background of Sidebar becomes black. I would think that is a glitch though it did work fine yesterday. Now I am running Sidebar _not_ Always On Top, and that seems to be better fro my needs. I still think there's a problem though it's certainly not serious.
