ObjectDock docks won't stay in the background!

(even if it's "pinned to the desktop")

from Stardock Forums

I'm pretty sure I've toyed around with most if not all of the settings.

All three of my docks are "pinned to the desktop".

However, AFTER I CLICK SOMETHING on those docks, they become "always on top" and they won't go away.

The only way they go back to "pinned to the desktop" is if I press windows+D a few times.

And yes, I tried turning the "don't hide docks when pressing windows+D" on and off a few times.

Still won't work.

You could always try the Autohide option or the keep on bottom option and set the delay to short delay, they both seem to work for me

 

Autohide works very well as soon as I click on something in my dock it goes away immediately.

On mine I right click, go to settings and Always on top. Check mark to set it then undo the check mark and click outside the dock to make it go where it should. It only started doing it recently.

It must be a Windows Update or something that's affected its behavior, because it's not working as it used to, even if these make-shift workarounds are effective. Regular and Autohide modes still cause the icons to pop up in one way or another. Keep on bottom with short delay still causes the icons to be displayed in front of everything briefly when I mouse over the taskbar (not the icons themselves) which is also undesirable behavior, since I play various games in windowed mode, and I don't need icons randomly thrown in my face if I happen to mouse over a certain part of the screen. All I want is for the dock bars to remain behind everything and never appear in front of any other window, like they used to, and Keep on bottom is presently not working as advertised.
