ObjectDock Taskbar Hide Issue

Well, I've set OD to hide the taskbar when it use, since basically it's my new, stylish taskbar. My problem is sometimes the taskbar will unhide itself and just stay unhidden for a while. I'm not positive as to what's causing it exactly. I surmise that it might happen if a window starts flashing, for example if someone says a highlight word in xchat2 or receive a new IM on AIM.

Not sure though, so I'm looking for anyone who might have a solution?

Also, while we're on topic, anyone find a way to show battery power % on ObjectDock? That's the only thing I'm missing now really, other than that I'm really pleased with the software.

 

You can try SysStats with Battery Docklet

 

Thanks, good call on that.

So, anyone have any idea about my primary problem?

 

I don't have this issue.. I have OD too... and I have not set it to hide my taskbar, but instead I have set the taskbar properties to hide itself ... you know what I mean?? the auto-hide thing.... so, I don't know why you are having this... and for me even when there is some instant message or anything, it doesn't show up... Is it probably because I have not set the IM notifications to appear??? I dont know, have to check.. but try playing around....

 

It's already been on auto-hide. I just hide it because there's still the gray line at the bottom indicating it's there, just hidden. I don't have notifications enabled, that's not even what I'm talking about. Looks way better completely hidden.
