Autohide+Attention effect

from WinCustomize Forums
If I enable both autohide and the attention effect (bounce), I never see the attention. Is it possible to make the bouncing icon appear on the screen even if autohide is enabled?

It should work...I have mine set on autohide and the shrink N grow effect enabled on mine and it works fine.

I'm having the same problem as bembleton. I would like the icon to appear on the screen with the attention effect. Any ideas how to do this? It would be really great for messenger.

I would not recommend using sutohide on the systray. In fact I recommend having the systray on it own "standard" dock without using any animations. You'll take a performance hit if you put systray on a dock with anything else especially a docklet.

If you have a program like messenger that has it's own attention effect you probably won't have problems with it as long as you don't use huge icons.

For dock objects on a taskbar dock you should see the attention effects before it autohides. However, it will not unhide/show just to displat an attention effect.

This is how I have my docks set up: http://img260.imageshack.us/my.php?image=desktop0wk1.jpg

I have a Dock at the bottom with the "Show dock as a drawer" option turned on.
There's a tab "Tray" with the systray icons.

There's also a autohide dock on the left edge, with the "Show running tasks on the dock" option on. I use it to quickly change between running programs (like using ALT+TAB)

The problem is that when messenger is running it won't show the "attention effect" when I get a message, because of the "autohide" option.

Is there any way to make it show, keeping the current setup?
How are you guys running messenger with objectdock?
Thanks for the help
