The games are changign the resolution of your monitor and IconX and OB both try to adjust and fail.
I am unaware of a fix for this other than closing both apps before playing.

One solution is that you play with the same resolution of the desktop, or you adjust the desktop resolution to the resolution of your games.

In example:

Desktop Resolution: 1280x1024 Game Resolution: 1280x1024 <--Good Config.

Desktop Resolution: 1600x1200 Game Resolution: 1280x1024 <--Bad Config.

This is because the object dock & iconx take the game resolution when you play and not restore when you back to the Desktop.

Some older games have a start up screen at 640x480. It doesn't matter what resolution you set in game, the icons will still get moved around.

I get this with Total Annihilation, which I run at 1280x1024 same as my screen. Still messes up my icons.

Thanks for your replies have tried altering the screen resolution to match the games but some times I cannot do that
It does help with screen and game resolution being the same
Object dock plus is easy to put right
but with iconX I have to move all the icons from the top left corner back to around the screen

thanks
