Maximized mixer behind windows taskbar
When I maximize my mixer, part of it hides behind my windows 10 taskbar. That makes it impossible to see and access my track names. Is there any way to prevent that from happening? The regular reaper window doesn't seem to do that.

I usually deal with it by setting the task bar to autohide

Dang. I was hoping for some other magic solution. I really don't like hidden taskbars, and I know it would make me want to kill someone, as I go down to change a track name or something and accidentally trigger the taskbar etcetera.
On the plus side, actually, I'm noticing now, I just unmaximized the mixer, and sized it and placed it by hand how I wanted it to be.
So far so good, hopefully reaper remembers that positioning forever.
I've opened and closed reaper already and it's been hassle free so far.

This has been bugging me for a while, too. With my dual monitor setup, I like having one monitor with a full-screen mixer. And like you, I'm not a fan of the hidden taskbar.
If you maximize the Mixer and then pin it, it will rise above the taskbar whenever it is the active/focused window. That's the closest solution I have found, but then it's too easy for other windows (VST controls etc) to get hidden behind it.
I do wish there was an option for it to be maximized in a way that fills the screen but doesn't cover the taskbar, like standard windows do.

Or if you have two monitors, just turn off 'show taskbar on all monitors' (windows settings)and put the mixer on the one without the taskbar.

I find that the mixer is much more quickly and easily accessed on a single monitor. I have a mouse binding to bring it up, and then you immediately have it right there under your mouse, and you don't need to look anywhere different.
The only thing I wish was better was smaller/smoother increments in navigating the mixer, and for the selected track(s) to always be in the center of the screen when you call up the mixer.
