As you can see: I have toolbar on the left side of the window (no way I'll change taht ) but after apllying new skins I can't open full window because it "eats" my left side of every program (excel in this case, but it's same with any other).

How can that be change? So that windows can be maximized in the proper way?

right click your bar on the left and check 'always on top' - if it's already checked uncheck then recheck

Well, I did it already, but it doesn't work.
And in one moment it was working but now doesn't work already (But I don't know what I did that it's worked )

I don't know what kind of informations (Mysecret) you more need, I can copy-paste it. But it seems to me as problem with positioning windows because looks like noone of designers expect taskbar in the vertical position. I also have extended desktop and it works fine there.

So, the problem is not with my computer or my windows but it have to be problem with the skin (other skins that I try have same problem, but I don't know is there any skin that works perfectly.)

You can just unlock the taskbar, put it verticaly and see for yourself
If problem persist with your skins too, than maybe designes should take care of that in the future (and belive me it's much more better to have taskbar on that side )

I'm not a programmer, I'm mora a hardware man but is there some options in skins to put automaticly (or better to say dinamicly) maximised window instead of positioning him in top left corner with a fixed size calculated as screen wide minus taskbar
(look screenshot in the link again and you'll se that window is short on the right side for a lenght of taskbar).

So it seems to me it's just with positioning windows and I wonder what should I change to fix that
'Cause I really like this skin )

Does it do it with Default XP skin (luna) applied?

Move the window to the proper location ...minimize to the taskbar...close (right click)from taskbar. Reopen Excel. The window should remember the last location.

No. Default windows working just fine.

@Night Train: When window is maximized you can not move him.
I can scratch window to the desired place but when I click maximize he jumps into screenshoted position.

And that's it
I lose part of the window under taskbar.

Also, if I didn't mention, it's the same for all windows. Excel was just an example: no matter is it some folder, document, program or whatever.

Therefore I think it's connected with a skin properties: skin just put maximized window to the left top corner. Wich is wrong! He should put it dinamicly depending on size and position of taskbar.

Now, that's what I wonder: how can I change that?
Is there some line in skin program that defines that?

It's not the skins.

I have no issues for this with any skins.

I dragged my taskbar to the left, top, right - no problem

I just now right clicked on my taskbar > toolbars > new toolbar.
I dragged that to the left side.
I covered up part of my browser.
I right clicked on my new toolbar > put a check on 'always on top' and it doesn't cover my browser. I can resize or minimize then maximize and it still is not covered.

I just opened Excel = no covered.
Same with Word and everything else I open - not covered.

During weekend I get some idea   

IT MIGHT BE CONNECTED WITH EXTENDED DESKTOP!

So I'll get another extended desktop manager and try to solve this problem

(this is just info if you see again this issue...)
