I have the bar at the top of the screen but when i do pet battles it obscures half the petbattle window.
In my addon i enabled auto hiding with...
    self:RegisterEvent("PET_BATTLE_OPENING_START");
    self:RegisterEvent("PET_BATTLE_CLOSE");
..followed by...
    if( event == "PET_BATTLE_OPENING_START" )    then    self:Hide();        end
    if( event == "PET_BATTLE_CLOSE" )            then    self:Show();    end
...in the event handler.

If you can add something similar to recount that'll be great ;)

I did a quick hack fix which works so copied here for anyone else who is annoyed at this oversight (location and method could be improved)

At the end of the funtion Recount:CreateMainWindow() add...

Recount:RegisterEvent("PET_BATTLE_OPENING_START", function() Recount.MainWindow:Hide(); end)

Recount:RegisterEvent("PET_BATTLE_CLOSE", function() Recount.MainWindow:Show(); end)

thats it :)
