In which case, you wont get a skewed screen, since the main game window is not trying to use the full depth. You would most likely do, if you chose desktop resolution in order to use the full window real estate, or the window happened to be equal to the screen depth or larger.

In any case, there is now an optional INI file parameter which is to be put into the [graphics] section for those like you who don't want an auto-hide check.

CheckForTaskbar=0;

If the variable is not found on reading the INI file, then the game defaults to 1, i.e. the standard state of checking, so that variable will only need entering for the tiny few who want to override it to 0.
