Taskbar won't hide in OD+ Vista SP1

October 2, 2008 2:32 PM from

I'm a long time user of OD+ and I've been having a problem with it in windows Vista SP1 for the past few weeks that I thought was interesting enough to share. I'm running version 1.90.033 and with two non-tabbed docks. One dead center bottom of my screen like OSX and one hidden off-screen where my windows system tray would be (which expectedly has my system tray icons in it).

The problem I'm having is that even though I've checked "Hide the Windows Taskbar" the taskbar still randomly resurfaces at the bottom of the screen with a thin white bar. If I mouseover the white bar at the bottom of the screen the taskbar floats back up (like the normal auto-hide taskbar functionality in windows) but with the start menu button missing. Right clicking on either of my docks makes the taskbar disappear again, but it always comes back up.

Any thoughts?

Hate to bump, but this is really annoying. I tried updating to the newest version of OD+ from impulse with the same result. Anyone else having this issue?

That does sound strange. Since no one has replied I would suggest an email to [email protected]

I run XP with Object Dock Plus so can't be of any help here. I use the 'Auto hide the taskbar' in Windows as I want the taskbar available if Object Dock has a hicup.
