OD suggestion ,one major ,some minor ones...

from WinCustomize Forums
I will not give up my dock!This first suggestion is the most important.

.The dock activates when a window is on top of it.This is driving me nuts! .Its difficult to even drag a window off of it.Plus the dock zooms if the mouse even gets near it.I tried using WIN FX to size windows so they wouldnt cover the dock but it quit working after awhile.The 'use mouse activation' setting does nothing that I can see.

.Minor suggestions would be a larger 'sweet' spot (adjustable maybe?)for maximum icon zoom.The icon is only in true sharp focus for 1 pixel(I know,not a big deal)

.How about squashing the outer icons instead of pushing them off the screen when your dock is almost as large as the screen.

.Having the dock be transparent till activated would be cool too.(I dont ask for much ,do I hehe)

.An option to place the dock anywhere would be nice,say 3pixels down from the top or just above the taskbar.

Just some suggestions...I'm pleased as punch that Stardock does any developement at all on this wonderful FREE program.

Now that I think about it,right above the taskbar isnt such a good idea.You would have to pass thru it to get to the taskbar.Unless there was a built in delay.Even with it under the taskbar it still activates.And the bottoms of the icons are chopped off.

Another good thing would bea way to desktop icons from getting underneath the dock.

Nope I've never had the problem that IR is describing with the DockSounder.

Ya good point. What if you had it show up above the taskbar, but it didnt activate til you had your mouse at the bottom of it? Would that work?

I'd like to have it positioned vertically, down the right hand side of my desktop, centred. That would keep it out of the way of everything. DesktopX objects could be repositioned so that you have to pass over them with the cursor first, before you get to object dock.
Since you appear to be the master of this Andreas, is this possible?
.... Just an idea.

I think I have found a workaround/fix for this. I'll mail you about it I.R.
