Have you tried setting the skin to Topmost? (Right-click the skin, Settings > Position > Topmost.)

you also might want to have a look at the DesktopWorkArea setting in Rainmeter.ini
http://rainmeter.net/cms/Settings-Rainmeter_beta

you could also create an additional (almost) invisible "hotspot" skin that has:
MouseOverAction=!Execute [!zpos 2 yourskin]
this skin should be set to Topmost

and add this to [MeterBackground] in your skin:
MouseLeaveAction=!Execute [!zpos 0 yourskin]

Thank you both,

Both options did the trick.
Now the bar works how i wanted.
The only thing what i need to do is change the graphics and at more options to it.
I will post more info on the Share Your Creations folder.

Thnx
Patrick
