dock position not staying

Thursday, October 13, 2005 by Andy02369 | Discussion: ObjectDock

I have ObjectDock tabs locked in place, but sometimes when I'm done playing certain games, I notice the Docks have moved. Does anybody know how this can be fixed, because it can be really annoying sometimes. I think it has something to do with resolution changing from the games.

Yes, this has to do with the game changing the screen's resolution. If you close ObjectDock prior to entering the game, everything should be all back to normal once you exit and try running it again. I don't believe there is any other workaround for this.

ok, maybe this will be fixed in the future. I posted to make sure I'm not missing an option to keep the dock where it is.

There is an option, play the GAME at the SAME resolution as you normally run the computer.

Unload OD before playing. No reason to have it running when it's not even visible. It can also sometimes react to mouse events (if you've enabled them) during the game causing it to drop back to windows.

I have a completely seperate login for games which is pared down to the minimum in terms of background processes, no wallpaper etc.
