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

Click to expand...

When I maximize a program it covers the sidebar.
 
Exit the Sidebar then restart it. Go to the Sidebar properties and make sure
it is not set to be on top.
 
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. Thanks, again, DH
