How do I prevent a hidden task task bar popping up when a mouse is moved to
the bottom of the screen ? I do not want users of embedded photon
applications to have access to the task bar.

I not sure if disabling the task bar is an option for you but if it is …

You can disable the taskbar by starting pwm with the -T option. There are
many ways to start pwm with this option. I prefer to export the options via
the env var PWMOPTS before starting Photon (i.e., export
PWMOPTS="$PWMOPTS -T"; ph)

Thanks it works great. One small point the env var is PHWMOPTS not PWMOPTS
