More ObjectBar Help Needed
Tuesday, May 6, 2003 by Asimo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hi all,
Ok - so I've got ObjectBar rollin' along here and I want to tweak it a bit. When you click on some menu options (mainly the Start menu) there is a little set of arrows that indicate there are "more options" if you click here. I want it to display full menus at all times. Is this possible? And second, is there any way to keep the Windows taskbar hidden? It stays hidden most of the time, but when I get an IM it pops up and kind of ruins the illusion, if you know what I mean. Anyhow, any and all help is much appreciated
Thanks

the other setting you seem to want is in "general options".
if you turn off "Activate smart menus" it should no longer hide items on the start menu

Thanks, that worked
Ok, since you were able to answer those questions, I have yet another (sorry!)
Is there a way to have a WB skin *not* skin the taskbar? I've found that if I minimize the taskbar to a thin slice that when it pops up it is so miniscule that it doesn't bother anything, however some WB skins seem to impose a minimum width on this. Any way to override this?
Thanks a bunch! You guys rule

yes, you can do this with WB. however, i dont have the problem you are describing. have you set OB to hide the windows taskbar?
in WB4 (which is what i am using) the setting is in:
display properties -> appearence -> window blinds -> settings (user overrides) -> XP Overrides
there is a setting here for the taskbar which should do what you want
