I take it you've not experienced the issue referred to in this thread?
I find it amazing that all these screensavers, some as popular as Fliqlo, have been running on 95, 98, me/2000, XP, Vista (which also had aero) and any other iteration one cares to mention!... and they worked fine. The taskbar didn't go invisible on us.
Now, we've got W7 - and yes it's had a beta, but the chances are - this issue has been missed, and frankly, whilst W7 is a great o/s - and I don't want to bash it, but genuinely believe there's an issue here that requires redress from MS.
We're not talking applications as such here - aren't .scr and associated files more straightforward? If they followed convention and worked perfectly fine before, and now numerous people are having issues now with this taskbar deciding not to come back - then I think we have issues with W7 - more specifically, resiliency issues as I've said before - it shouldn't be as simple as coming back from a screensaver to have no taskbar!
I'll defend MS when required but on this occasion I have to stick my guns. I'm sorry if anyone disagrees.
ps. half of these screensavers may never see development again anyway - so hopefully MS do something, or we're left with a whole bunch that are potentially useless.
