## ObjectBar: feature req. + questions ##
Friday, November 25, 2005 by df123456 | Discussion: Customization Software
I really like ObjectBar, there are only a few programs as useful as this one.
I have the enhanced version of it.
Since I bought a Wacom Tablet, I'm having a problem with ObjectBar.
A tablet is like a high resolution mouse, which never stays still on the desktop, the hand always shakes the pen a pixel or two, so that while the pen presses on the tablet to simulate a mouseclick it usually moves a pixel or two before the pen leaves the tablet again.
This is interpreted as a WM_MOUSEMOVE while in WM_LBUTTONDOWN, and when this happens on a open bar, then the bar stays open after it loses it's focus. If no shaking would occur, then the bar would close as soon as the click on the menuitem had happened.
So, in about 30% of the cases, the bar stays open which is a bit disturbing. Maybe a variable threshold could be introduced, within it's limits the WM_MOUSEMOVE would be ignored as a request to keep the bar open. That would be really cool.

Also, my theme manager always displays version v1.10a build 739 in the About dialog, but stardock central showed me something like 1.99 (beta2).
And when I check the manual on the website @ https://www.stardock.com/products/objectbar/docs/
the screenshots look completely different from what I'm using here... Why's that?
