Make system tray filter (icon auto-hide) open to the left?

And some OB 2.0 bugs, I think.

I thought I'd revisit objectbar with the new version. I made a bar and it works, yay. However, I can't figure out how to make the system tray filter (auto-hide) open the hidden icons to the left instead of the right. What I mean is, right now, the bar grows to the right when I click the expand button. How do I make it expand to the left?

As for some piccadillos, I clicked the check to make the bar respond to the windows key but its not working. Actually, no hot key I set (and I tried like 10 different combos) brings the bar to the top. I think this option is broken. As an aside, there seems to be a bug with the bar autohide and object dock. If I use object dock to hide the taskbar then objectbar will only autohide to the top of my screen (opposite of where the hidden taskbar is). If I use objectbar to hide the taskbar it works but it messes up objectdock's drawer positioning. Lastly, when I check autohide, the bar does not automatically auto-hide form its last position. It will sometimes (happend 4 times in last 2 days) randomly move to various sides of my screen making it an interesting (though annoying) game of "find the bar" . If I check auto-hide and it stays in the right postion and I don't uncheck auto-hide, then it functions fine. Anyone else experiencing these? Thanks!

Alternatively, is there a way to have the bar respect the borders of my screen on expanding? If I put the bar on the right corner and expand, it grows off screen.

open left - I couldn't find an option anywhere
respect border - don't think that will happen unless you can get it to go left

Thanks for the reply Bichur! Yeah, I looked everywhere in the obskin file. There was nothing in there. This is also a problem with horizontal bars. It expands off the screen if the bar is not at the top. Seriously, how is it this app "totally customizable" if I can't put my bar on 2 out 4 sides of my screen? Is it just impossible? Anyone out there get it working or maybe figured out a work-around? Also, unless I am doing something wrong, 2.0 still doesn't support transparent winblinds skins? I am slowly feeling serious dissapointment with 2.0...

I have the exact problem ... using ObjectBar 2.0 ...

for now, when using my systray it means moving again and again ...

is there a workaround? or can somebody confirm it's a characteristic?

and if it is ... it would be great if a new version can provide the ability to move to the left ..

Are you using a particular bar?  Which?
Custom bar?
