Objectdock Woes.

I use <a href='http://www.stardock.com' target='_blank'>Stardock</a>'s ObjectDock. It's a nifty pop-up menu thinger that goes on the sides of your screen. My main woe is that whilst playing many games I must close the thing before I start the game because if I move my mouse to the side of my screen in the game, as you do whilst commanding or playing any RTS or in the menus of any game, the game often minimises and/or crashes in an infuriating manner.

If anyone has a solution to my woes I would be quite pleased. Perhaps a nifty docklet or something? I'm at wit's end.

    Go to 'Dock Settings..', and change the third 'Position on Screen' option to 'Normal Window Z-Ordering' or the more extreme, 'Always on Bottom'.

    You might still experience the slowdown associated with the zooming-in effect, but ObjectDock will never steal focus away from other programs.
