Need help on setting my Taskbar skin

So I have created my own taskbar skin which is shown below:

What I want to do is the skin to be over the windows and clickable thru the taskbar which is shown below:

I achieved this by making the skin in topmost position and checking the Click Through option..
But my problem is that the skin would still be visible even if the websites are on fullscreen like YouTube or any website for example:

I need some suggestions on how to solve this problem thank you...

You could look at the
IsFullScreen plugin.

So I found this code that hides the skin using isFullscreen but it doesnt work tho
Code: Select all
[Rainmeter]
Update=500
[Variables]
X1=-150
[mIsFullScreen]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=IsFullScreen
IfCondition=mIsFullScreen=1
IfTrueAction=[!Hide "Taskbar"]
IfFalseAction=[!Show "Taskbar"]
[Taskbar]
Meter=Image
ImageName=HI3.png
X=X1
W=1366
PreserveAspectRatio=0

Unfortunately the IsFullScreen plugin suggested by eclectic-tech doesn't detect the maximized window as being a full screen window. Full screen window in this case means for instance a video played on full screen either from a media player app or from a browser, a full screen game or whatever else, which has no "bordered" window. Maximized windows are not so and the plugin doesn't detect them as occupying the entire surface of the screen.

Ah yes! 'Maximized' is not the same as 'Fullscreen'...
Personally, I feel trying to customize the Windows taskbar is a fruitless endeavor.
Any method to determine if an open window is maximized is going to be a convoluted process and never cover all of the possibilities.
Perhaps someone else wants to go down that "rabbit hole", but not me.

Right. As far as I can tell, this is not possible at the moment.

Me neither, to be honest...
