Objectbar and Games (DirectX or OpenGL)
Saturday, March 8, 2003 by Never.Mind | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I am sure this has probably been asked before, but it is such a pain to have shut down objectbar just to play a game and then restart as soon as I am finished. THe problem of course is that objectbar won't stay out of the way - if you move your cursor over an area in the game screen (any game) to the location of where an objectbar bar is located on the desktop, then blamo! you have have the bar flashing through the game screen. It also forces you to do an Alt-Tab to get back to the game (after you shut down OB, of course).
Is this a fixable problem? Auto-hiding a docked bar doesn't help, changing the z-order doesn't appear to help... I am stuck.
If anyone knows hot to get around this, please let me know. btw, I am running the latest versions of everything available on OD network.

Another problem is that when I'm using the Windows Taskbar, the cursor movements are also passed to the ObjectBar beneath

I have noticed that happening on occasion as well, Agua. Thing of it is, I can't reproduce it on demand and I have no idea what I do to fix it. THe buttons still light up even though the pointer is not visable, so at least you can see where you are on the bar.
Regardless, the dissapearing cursor is an annoyance, but having to shut OB down to preform my computer's primary function
is wearing me thin...
