Strange dock behaviour with single icon
Tuesday, March 6, 2007 by sumthingsoft | Discussion: ObjectDock
Hi there. I'm running OD+ 1.5 with no problems. I have a tabbed dock (includes a taskbar tab), a sys tray dock and a clock dock. The clock is where I have the problem.
The only thing on that particular dock is a clock. My goal is to have an auto-hiding or magnifying clock so at first glance I have no clock but one's there rapidly if needed. I've seperated the clock from my other docks because I want the clock much MUCH bigger than my other icons.
If I set the clock dock to autohide it appears when I mouse-over but rarely hides again. Nothing short of dragging the clock a short way can get the dock to hide again. Same sorta thing when I try to magnify it (going from min to max size). It'll rarely shrink again.
Is this a known error? Any advice?

Thanks for replying Lantec, and so quickly.
How do I configure a normal dock to use a hotspot? As far as I can tell, only tabbed docks support hotspots. If I'm wrong, please point out how I can do that. Sounds like just what I need.
And to clarify, I'm not trying to zoom AND hide at the same time. It's an either/or situation.
