 I'm using AWM 4.5 beta 2 on WinXP Pro SP2.  I have True Launch Bar 4.2 installed.

When True Launch Bar menus are opened, they do not overlap the Task Bar as they should.  Instead, they are moved (by AWM) above the Task Bar.  Please see the image attached.

Prior versions of AWM did not do this (just as a matter of information).  The menus behave correctly if AWM is "stopped".

 I can't see how to edit my post.  The subject was poorly chosen.  Instead of saying "...rather than on top of it, as they should be", I should have said "...rather than overlapping it, as they should".  Sorry.

I also forgot to mention that I cannot see why AWM is doing this to the menus.  I have the Explorer Task Bar (class Shell_TrayWnd) and True Launch Bar menus (class TrueLaunchBarMenu) excluded in AWM.

 Hello Scott,

It happens because of function "Layout Keeper". The matter is that it is quite independent, it doesn't pay attention to exclusions that you created. It has its own exclusions.

In the next updated version of Actual Window Manager these menus will be excluded from Layout processing. Thank you for information

Good luck!

 I don't understand the layout feature at all.  If I switch from one resolution to another, all that happens is my windows get shortened vertically (i.e. made narrower).  So, because they don't take up the whole screen the way I want them to (and the way they were at the first resolution) I have to manually fix them anyway.

 Hello Scott,

Could you please specify steps you perform to get such behavior? What dimensions (approximately) have opened windows? Please specify the approximate resolutions you are switching form and to. Thank you in advance.
