A feature and a bug

Or vice versa, if you prefer.

Feature request: I want to disable the sliding behavior of Autohiding bars. Not only is it prone to performance problems on even high-end systems, but I also just don't like it. I want this option.

Bug report: Advanced Theme Editor > Sizing and Positioning Tab > "More Bar Sizing/Positioning Options" dialogue. If you set it to adjust the bar's Top Edge, OB doesn't fully respect your choice. See this picture:

That's what happens when I contract and re-expand a bar. As it contracts, it adjusts the top edge. But as it expands, it adjusts the BOTTOM edge, causing the bar to creep up the screen. It does this no matter what corner the bar is aligned to.

Open and close a few programs a few times, and the bar has crept all the way to the top of the screen. Very annoying, and worth taking the time to fix, I believe.

Thanks,
SFT

Oh oh, and how could I forget: I want flashing Taskbar entries to make the bar unhide. Maybe make that an option.

Also, better yet, make an entirely separate bar item that is replaced with any windows trying to get your attention. So you could have a separate, small bar, that pops up whenever something's flashing. This way, you can have a nice big taskbar, and a nice small attention-getter.

But maybe that's too ambitious. Heh.
