Hiding the Dock
Tuesday, February 23, 2010 by ragus73 | Discussion: Docks
Hey guys,
So I just bought OD+ a few days ago and I am liking it for sure. Theres one thing I am hoping can be added in the future, or even some sort of workaround that can be used now. I want the dock to hide until I scroll my mouse up to the top of the screen. But, when I open a full screen program, then I do not want the dock appearing when I scroll my mouse up to the top. Thanks for your time.

Tabbed dock or not? For a zoomer, about the only thing you can do is under positioning, set it to Hide off-screen when not in use and then move the "Delay" slider all the way to the right for a long delay. That would give you time to have your mouse up top and do something without the dock popping up right away. You could also move the alignment sliders either left or right so it's out of the way of your action at the top of the screen.
Question: What are you doing at the very top of your screen frequently enough for this to be a problem for you?

Thanks for the quick replies. I guess moving the delay up would solve my problem. Thankyou. I noticed that as I was browsing the web, I would go to click bookmarks or tools and end up accidentally opening up the dock. Also as I tried to minimize or close full screen programs. I have moved the dock over and increased the delay. It works great now, thanks alot!

It'd be pretty hard for the program to know your intention....without say a "gesture" or a an additional option. Have you tried positioning the dock on the left or right sides of the screen? Just a thought...
