ObjectDock+ behind Titlebar but in front of application
Tuesday, October 18, 2005 by ZubaZ | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I'm using a Tablet PC and after rotating the resolution from portrait to landscape I saw the results below. The normal dock was zooming out correctly but was behind teh titlebar of the application.

Thanks Neil. Restarting OD+ resolved teh issue. There are some Stardock apps that are just not resolution (or rotation) aware.
WinFx is the worst. The tiled windows are absolute, not relative to resolution so if I have thumbnails go off screen when rotate . . . they are gone with no way to retrive them.
Tabbed docks in OD+ hold there relative position but when I go from landscape to portrait the two I have along the bottom get stacked atop each other. Ugly, but managable and logical really.
Thanks for your fix though.

Thats a bug in Windows XP which can occur after a screen resolution change.
If you reboot all will be fine again.
