When i open notepad or any other program, i cant see the statusbar because it hides behind the taskbar(xtaskbar). Is there a way to fix this? I've got the taskbar at the bottom and it's one line high.

Adjust your Desktop size to not allow that to happen.

I have no idea how to do that...:P

You'll have something akin to (depending on the module you use)

SetDesktopArea
sdatop 0
sdabottom 0
sdaleft 0
sdaright 0

Either that, or you could set all the elements of the statusbar to be alwaysontop, or if that doesn't make them always ontop you could look into zorder-0.2 by ilmcuts to force the ordering.
