Question: In my JavaFX FXML application when I set resizable to false and maximized to true the window becomes maximized but the taskbar gets hidden. I am using Netbeans 8.0.2 on Windows 7 64 Bit with JDK 1.8.60

In Netbeans I followed the steps to create a new JavaFX FXML application. To the default code generated I added the following two lines in the start function.

```
stage.setResizable(false);
stage.setMaximized(true);

```

Hence the final start function is as below

```
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
    Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().
        getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"));

    Scene scene = new Scene(root);

    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.setResizable(false);
    stage.setMaximized(true);
    stage.show();
}

```

Now when I run the application the window is maximized, title bar is visible but the task bar is not visible. How should I fix this i.e. make the task bar visible?

Answer: 
@JC997 Has a great answer but I want to refine.

While using setWidth and setHeight you do not preventing your user from resizing the whole window. Combining *setResizeable(false)* with the following code won't help in that case neither.

You should apply **Min** and **Max** values to actually achieve what you are looking for, use this

```
Rectangle2D primaryScreenBounds = Screen.getPrimary().getVisualBounds();
stage.setX(primaryScreenBounds.getMinX());
stage.setY(primaryScreenBounds.getMinY());

stage.setMaxWidth(primaryScreenBounds.getWidth());
stage.setMinWidth(primaryScreenBounds.getWidth());

stage.setMaxHeight(primaryScreenBounds.getHeight());
stage.setMinHeight(primaryScreenBounds.getHeight());

```
If you want you're stage not resizable and maximized, with the taskbar visible, you can use this code I think:

```
Rectangle2D primaryScreenBounds = Screen.getPrimary().getVisualBounds();
stage.setX(primaryScreenBounds.getMinX());
stage.setY(primaryScreenBounds.getMinY());
stage.setWidth(primaryScreenBounds.getWidth());
stage.setHeight(primaryScreenBounds.getHeight());

```

What this does, is looking for the screen boundaries and it takes the taskbar into account.
