Annoying issue with Winkey+D and ObjectDock

from Stardock Forums

Everytime I hit the Winkey+D desktop shortcut, Objectdock disappears! It'll only reappear once I restore a window in my taskbar or hit the start menu. This is beginning to get very annoying, any help would be great <3

 

EDIT: Only happens when I Winkey+D from a maximized window

Winkey-D puts a title-less menu-less window with your wallpaper on top of everything else.  It doesn't hide anything.

If you want, you can use Winkey-M to minimize windows.

Hmm awesome, thanks.. i've been using Winkey+D forever to just get to my desktop.. Since i'm so used to it, how could I possibly change my Winkey+D to minimize all windows rather than to simply show desktop, if possible?

I don't believe you can.  :(

What is annoying, is that this behavior is easily corrected (well, depending on what language OD is written in), by utilizing something like

SetParent(this.handle, FindWindow(null, "Program Manager"))

But it is up to stardock to actually do that.
