How To Fix...

March 14, 2005 4:36:25 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I recently installed and cuztomized the OD freeware and its great. The only problem I have is that when I'm playing a game if the cursor gets on the dock which is beyond my control it minimizes the game which is a major problem! If I can't fix it my only other opition is going back to desktop shortcuts. PLease help.

I seem to remember someone making a docklet that turns off OD when you start a game.
Or...you could do what I do: turn off OD before starting my game, and turn it back on when done.

i considered turning it off and on but it'd be more confineant if i didnt have to do that on the count off i launch games from the dock and i would have to close it whie the game is loading which doesnt take long.

You could try disabling "Mouse activation" in the Position section of Config Dock.

I don't play a lot of games, so I'm not sure - just a suggestion.

I believe there is a docklet by Dockzone that can just do what you want: https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=4008&LibID=29

I haven't tried it though since I use the "tjesterb"-method when playing 3D games

Thanks but turning off mouse activation keeps the dock from effecting your games. But if anyone could help me figure out how to minimize things to the dock maybe with a link to the docklet it would be cool.
