Do you have the option enabled to turn off BatteryBar when the battery finishes charging? There's an issue with that option where the toolbar doesn't re-enable itself when the battery starts discharging again.

I have the same issue. It is constantly disappearing and reappearing for no apparent reason. It spends quite a lot of time hidden. Windows 7 Ultimate. BatteryBar 3.3.3.

Ah. I believe I Know what is happening. I have battery bar in hovering toolbar mode, set to always appear on top, and I have it situated on top of the taskbar, near the right. Every time I click on the taskbar, batterybar disappears. The only way to make it reappear is to minimize every program until you reach the desktop, upon reaching the desktop it promptly appears and will stay while you maximize windows (clicking them on the task bar is fine, but clicking other things on the taskbar like the clock, etc will make it disappear again.) Clicking on "show desktop" does not bring batterybar back, only minimizing ALL programs until you reach the desktop will do it.

If you ask me, it's ability to "stay on top" is bugged. It could even be a Win 7 bug, I dunno.

It is extremely annoying.

If you want BatteryBar on the taskbar, YOU MUST use the taskbar toolbar version.

The Windows 7 taskbar is always on top of every window, no matter what. It's designed that way. Please rerun the installer and choose the taskbar toolbar.
