I do not know how to start a bar hidden, so I tried the offscreen solution and
some other options but none worked as I expected.
After thinking for more solutions, I figured out another way to almost solve
it, and I say almost because even though displays fine 90% of the time, there's
still some occasional glimpses at center of the screen but nothing to annoy
about.
Here's what I've done:
create a bar completely transparent
;---------------
hn.SetProperties("Position: Floating Transparent: 255 FlatFlat HideAfter: 500
TopMost")
then lock the main bar to it and make them show like this:
hn.tomouse
hp.show
hpb.show
;---------------

Thanks for clarifying.
