Object bar doesn't stay on top

from WinCustomize Forums
I have this object bar which is docked to the left of my screen. It autohides so it only appears when I move the cursor over there. I think it's the type of setup I'd like but it has one problem. Even though it's set to stay on top and does most of the time, every now and then (seems like every 20 minutes) it will go below all my windows. So now I have to minimize all my stuff and then it works right again. I would really like for this to work right as I like this object bar.

I'm running WindowsXP home and programs most commonly open when I notice this are Opera6, Yahoo messenger and Internet Explorer

I had a similar problem with a much older version of ObjectBar, whcih is why I have up on using auto-hiding bars. I haven't tried it since.

Thanks. I think I'm going to go with a task bar type bar along the top of the screen. I've been using WindowsXP's startmenu/taskbar docked to the top for many months but it always had problems (some programs would open with their top bar covered by the task bar and I'd have to resize the bottoms so their top bars would stretch out from under the task bar .... annoying bug in windows which has been there since at least win98). I prefer everything at the top rather than the normal windows 'along the bottom' route. Every program I know of has there's at the top so why not windows.

I hope stardock will jix the autohide bug soon. An autohiding menu might be nice if it worked 100%.
