can't see attention effect with autohide

November 17, 2007 3:40 PM from

Hey, I know this question has been asked before on these forums but after searching I couldn't find a definitive answer.

I have an autohiding dock at the bottom of my screen. The attention effect is set to "bounce," but I can't actually see the effect unless the dock is showing. Is there a way to configure this thing so that when the attention effect goes off, I can actually see it? Without disabling autohide.

[edit] I'm running WinXP Pro 32-bit, and my desktop resolution is 1680 x 1050.

Thanks

...So is there no solution to this, or what?

This took me forever to figure out! The problem is that when the dock is scrolled off it's so far down that the bounce doesn't reach the visible screen.

For me, I selected the "stretch background proportionally" option and poof it works now. I am using the aero zoomer bg. For other BGs you might have different results.
