ObjeckDock vanishing after alt tabbing from a game, and my browser windows are messed up.

from WinCustomize Forums

I can alt tab though web pages and the like, but if I go to World of Warcraft, and tab back, the objeckdock is gone. The only way I can get it to reappear, is to go into the configure dock, and move it around till it pops back up. I've got it set to "keep on top".

 

Also, somehow, I've managed to glitch out my browser windows. They only open at half a normal browser window size, and it won't let me drag the bottom of the page, to stretch it out to normal size. Don't know how this happened, or if something corrupted. Even when I hit the full screen icon, it doesn't span across the bottom half of my screen. THIS is driving me crazy more than anything.

Not the anzwer you're looking for, but what happens is when a program such as a game changes the screen resolution while OD is loaded it sometimes/frequently/(always?) screws up OD's mapping.  Easiest thing to do is unload OD before you run one of those programs, then reload it when you're done.

Oh, forgot the second part.  If that is only happening while OD is loaded, try going into OD configuration and make sure "Reserve screen space" (or something like that, can't look right now) isn't checked.

If it is happening even while OD is not loaded, I'm afraid I have no idea.

Thanks. Now my OD won't even show on the bottom of my screen, and when I add new icons they get all screwed up. Lol.

Maybe it's just popping up behind a window you have open and your just not seeing it?

In what way?

 

What operating system are you running? And which version of Object Dock (free, the pay-for Plus version, or the Beta?)
