With UltraMon taskbar up, Zune full screens above it. Thought that was strange, but it wasn't ugly. You could try running a fat point black sharpie along the bottom of that monitor __________________ Sometimes you are the anteater, sometimes you are the ant.

I'm using the latest Catalyst video driver package, but maybe it's some sort of weird interaction with the particular video card and monitor that I have.

I guess it's good news that no one else is having this problem.

Interesting. I wonder why I'm seeing it? Hmm. It doesn't matter if I do full screen, or snap it to the top of the monitor to get it to go full screen, etc...it always has the same issue.

Yes, really. I like a huge variety of music, and many of the Glee songs are excellent covers/mash-ups.
