Tabbed Dock Question about mouseover...

Is it possible to have the tabbed dock only slide out when I click on a tab?
It gets sort of annoying whenever I have my mouse towards the bottom of the screen because the dock will alwasy slide open.
Thanks in advance.

Right click on tabbed dock, select tab settings, select positioning, uncheck mouseover activation.

Try the following:

Right-click a tab > Detach from edge > right-click a tab > Dock Settings > Positioning category > Set dock as a drawer > deselect Mouseover activation.

Failing this, you will want to save your theme via the General category > Save Theme as button > unload ObjectDock, and then clear the ObjectDockPlus cache by deleting the cache folder.

For more on the clearing the cache procedure, you can go here http://corkyo.wincustomize.com/Articles.aspx?SID=5463&AID=82461

After clearing the cache, restart ObjectDock (which will load with the default settings) > go to Dock Settings again, and load the saved theme. Verify that the Mouseover activation is selected and no "Hotspots" are set for that dock.

That should do it.

Check your "HOT SPOTS" tab. It's just under the general selection tab in OD properties. Select each spot and on the pull-down tab select "Do nothing with to this tabbed dock". Hope this helps.
I find that OD is a bit buggy, But uses less Mem. than any other app of this sort. I even use it for my taskbar.

That's how I use mine, and I have to click a tab for it to open. Are you sure we're talking about a "TABBED" dock? The behavior sounds like a standard [zooming] dock set to "Autohide"
