Title says it all; How does one hide a taskbar on dream seeker game startup?

You mean title bar or do you mean status bar? Just edit the interface. https://gyazo.com/c808b44c13dfbb1b4538214fd94c57b0
You can create a label to replace them.

Nope, I mean the task bar. Thanks though.

As in the bar at the bottom of your screen with your opened applications & so on.

Hiding a taskbar on dream seeker startup doesn't really make sense. I think you meant hide the icon of dream seeker that appears in your task bar. https://gyazo.com/c808b44c13dfbb1b4538214fd94c57b0
Just edit the interface. Set the icon to a blank icon.
Or maybe you just want to auto hide the taskbar?

Your last suggestion is what I'm looking for; I want to hide the taskbar on startup.

This is a taskbar:

Not really a byond question though.

Well, it is a BYOND question because BYOND games can mimic windowed fullscreen windows and therefor hide taskbars.

I'm not looking to personally hide my own taskbar, but everyone who plays my project's taskbars as soon as the game loads to add to the sense of immersion. Thanks.

So you want to learn how to make your games full screen.
I don't think you can force hide a players taskbar through byond.

winset(src,"","Titlebar=false")
winset(src,"","can-resize=false")
winset(src,"","is-maximized=true")

I appreciate the help Mav472 but I already figured out how to winset all that off... ..It's just the taskbar I've been wrestling with.

I've played BYOND games that hide it so it is possible.

You can't hide a player's taskbar through byond. Full screen games don't hide task bars, they just go over them (I guess that's the same thing).
I created a new environment and used these winsets.
winset(src,"default","Titlebar=false")
winset(src,"default","can-resize=false")
winset(src,"default","is-maximized=true")

This is the result:

Did you have to minimize/maximize that project in order to overlap the taskbar?

I already had been using the same winset() stuff you posted previous to this post but found that I needed to minimize/maximize my window in order to achieve a windowed fullscreen status.

What I'm looking for is a way to achieve such a fullscreen status without having to minimize/maximize. I guess I can... Try just forcing a minimize & maximize on startup. I'll post the results here.

Yeah, you have to maximize with the titlebar removed to achieve a windowed/borderless full screen effect. I recall some doing this years ago. I even used it years ago on an unreleased and unfinished version of SkyDrop Delivery II (this was back in late 2011).

Make sure resize is turned off too or it may cause problems.

Maximizes the the project. So yea these winsets will help you achieve what you're looking to do.

This explains everything. I had everything just like in the wrong order or something! Ok. I'll test this out when I get home. Super stoked. Thanks.

Also Mav472, I should have cross referenced your line of code with mine earlier. I seen that they were the same thing so I was just like... ..uhg no, not what I'm looking for man! But I believe as Bandock suggested, it was the order that I had wrong.

Lol the order doesn't matter
