Windows 8 task bar - top always visible

Anyone else have this problem where the top of the windows taskbar is always visible, even if I go full screen in iPlayer?

Look closely at the bottom of the image. The taskbar is set to autohide.

Fyi iplayer desktop has always had a thin white line at the bottom and auto hide has always left a 1/2 pixel line from the taskbar at the bottom of the screen in all versions of windows.

The pale blue of w8 is probably more noticeable than the blue/black/transparency of xp/vista/w7 however.

Yes the taskbar when hidden is still slightly visible, maybe a pixel or two in height. I think its just as a reminder of where it is, but shouldnt be shown when viewing full screen apps. Is this just with iplayer, if so then i'd presume the azuse has answered the iplayer part.

It was because I set the text size to 150%.
