controls

TBH: Task Bar Hero’s controls are minimal but essential — they let you fix display problems quickly and keep the game usable across different monitor setups. This page lists the official hotkeys, explains the two emergency shortcuts you should memorize, and gives practical multi‑monitor troubleshooting tips.

Core hotkeys

  • Shift + F11 — Reset display scale (resets UI scaling when the game appears too small or too large).
  • Shift + F12 — Reset window position (moves the game window back onto the visible desktop).

These are the only dedicated display hotkeys documented for the running game.

Emergency combo: when the window breaks

Memorize the Shift + F11 / Shift + F12 combo. If the TBH window becomes tiny, disappears off‑screen, or is positioned outside your visible desktop after moving between monitors or changing DPI settings:

  • Press Shift + F12 to restore the window position first.
  • If the UI elements are still incorrectly sized after repositioning, press Shift + F11 to reset the display scale.

Doing the two in that order fixes most visual and positioning issues without reinstalling or changing system settings.

Multi-monitor and DPI tips

  • When dragging the game between monitors with different DPI/scaling, reset the display scale (Shift + F11) before dragging again to prevent inflated or shrunken UI.
  • If the window vanishes after moving monitors, try Shift + F12 first, then Shift + F11 if needed.
  • If the game shows no visuals or audio while running in the background, ensure you are logged into Steam and that your GPU drivers are up to date. If problems persist, gather a short clip of the issue and contact support (the official support email can be used for reports).

Quick troubleshooting checklist

  • Window off-screen → press Shift + F12.
  • UI too large/small → press Shift + F11.
  • Window missing after monitor move → Shift + F12, then Shift + F11.
  • No visuals/sound in background → verify Steam login and GPU drivers; record a clip and report to support if necessary.

Keep these shortcuts handy — they resolve the vast majority of display and window problems encountered while running TBH: Task Bar Hero.
