Does anybody else have aproblem with object bar and games?

January 29, 2003 3:34 PM from

I mean it seems when I have object bar running, it likes to mess up most games. Is it cause it is trying to go ONTOP of the game screen? All I REALLY want is a program similar to object bar that people can either skin or sutomize colors at least that will dock exactly like the start menu to where nothing goes over it EXCEPT games. I like having a button to click and it opening my own personal menu like the mac bar kinda. Any suggestions? I'm gonna go try it once more now that I just formatted my hard drive ONE more time... I'll let you guys know the results later.

I have the same problem. I've found two ways to deal with it: 1) Rather than have the bar docked, simply set it so it it fills up the entire width of the screen (if it is horizontal). Use another program such as DesktopX to reduce the work area so that no windows will cover the bar when maximized. 2) Another way is to go into the ObjectBar properties and hide the bar whenever you plan to play a game.

makes sense...I guess I was just hoping there was a way to FIX it with a patch or something. All well. Thanks.
