How do I make Open-Shell Start Button work when taskbar is hidden?

[Hambruhger]

So, I use RetroBar as my taskbar. Only problem is that it makes a gap between the windows and the taskbar. A workaround is to hide the taskbar, fixing the problem. I also use Open-Shell, and this creates another problem: the Open-Shell Start Button gets hidden with the taskbar, making it impossible to get that Windows XP taskbar feel. Anyone know how to fix this?

Doesn't the taskbar automatically un-hide when you go with mouse cursor to the bottom of your screen (or where your taskbar is located)?
Or if you press Win key?

well yes, but retrobar completely hides the taskbar

If you're on Windows 11 instead of using the "automatically hide the taskbar" setting, install Windhawk and use the "Taskbar height and icon size" mod to shrink the Windows taskbar to the same height as retrobar.
