ObjectDock jitters and jumps

Friday, January 28, 2005 by marcusdoc | Discussion: ObjectDock

This problem is still present with the new version of Object Dock - if you move your cursor over the dock, the dock at the non-expanded regions jitters back and forth (the nonexpanded regions of the dock should remain totally fixed)

I've seen this present itself with my other computer so it does not appear to be a video card issue.
This is present with using the default settings (probably more noticable with LCD monitors)


Any ideas? or is this a coding issue?

"jitters with firefox and not ie"??? ... i don't know what you are talking about - Object dock is independent of firefox and IE - it is an application that is on the desktop (not interfaced with any browser).

again, as you move your mouse over object dock (the icons are expanded), the non expanded region of the dock does not stay fixed rather it jitters.

Jeff Bargman (the developper of OD) can sometimes be found over at the news-group news.stardock.com . I would try and post your problems there too.

I was having the same problem and I thought it might be related to WinXP SP2 because I just recently installed it. However, I found that setting the Z-Ordering to "Always on Top" has fixed my problem. Can anyone else confirm that it works for them too?

Cool. Glad to hear it wasn't just me.

That 'fix' does not work - I've tried two different system and both systems display the artifacts.
