ObjectBar and Firefox 2.0.20

from Stardock Forums

Hi all.  I've just installed ObjectBar, and it works wonderfully.  I'm just using the basic theme that adds a second taskbar to the top of the screen (the second taskbar has autohide turned off).  Every program I've used so far has recognized and respected both taskbars.  Every program except Firefox.  FF, when maximized, instead of taking up the space between the two taskbars like it should, resizes itself so that it takes up the right amount of space, but in the wrong spot.  The window moves itself to the top of the screen, so that I can't see the maximize/minimize/close buttons, and so that there's a taskbar-sized gap between the bottom of the window and the bottom taskbar.  How do I go about fixing this?

 

A second question: is it possible to use the e-mail element with Hotmail?  Everything I've found via Google says no, but there's no harm in asking, right? :)

 

Thanks very much in advance :D

 

EDIT: An update, from some more playing around with everything.  If I minimize Firefox (right clicking it on the taskbar to get the option) and then restore it, it shows up in the right place.  However, it goes back to opening up in the wrong place the next time I open it.  As well, it seems CCleaner is affected by this issue too.

I have the same problem. In matter of fact I came here to post the same question...

What OS is this happening on?  Is it also possible to post a screenshot?  The Hotmail issue is more due to the fact that you can't access your mail on Hotmail via POP/IMAP (the protocols used by mail clients, including Outlook/Windows Mail) unless you pay for a premium account.  Yahoo mail is the same way (last I checked).

Thanks for the reply Shirley.

 

This is happening on Windows XP Pro.  The more I play around with things, the more I see that its about a 50/50 split of programs that respect the second taskbar vs. programs that open up funny (I noticed it in Firefox first because its my most used program).

 

 

As you can see in the screenshot, Firefox opened up about a bit too high, and now the close/minimize/restore buttons are all hidden beneath the second taskbar.  The gap between FF and the normal Windows taskbar seems to be about the size of the second taskbar added by ObjectBar.

What theme are you using for ObjectBar there, can you post a link to it?  Also, you can PM me on the forums so I can get back to you faster.
