Need to know on auto-hide before purchase

Gaming vs. Docking?

from Stardock Forums

Im currently using a freeware alternative to Objectdock.  It has one serious annoyance, and if Objectdock doesnt have this annoyance I'll buy Objectdock.

I play a couple MMOs.  Star Trek Online and sometimes WoW.  Both games play "Windowed, Fullscreen" mode.  Even with my freeware dock auto-hiding, when I drag my mouse to the bottom of the screen in the games the docking software pops up.  This has lead to my untimely demise on more than a few occasions.

 

Will the full version of Objectdock 2 have a feature that will help me?  Can I tell Objectdock to stay hidden when I am inside of a particular application (game?)?

 

Are there any solutions to this other than moving my in-game buttons or moving my docking software?

I play games in all types of windows and never had a problem with OD+.

You can configure the accessibility for ObjectDock too.  You could simply un-check the show dock on mouseover, or make the delay longer.

I play games as well and have never had a problem with the docks while in game mode. ;) Actually the only thing that has ever happened was the dock (tabbed) would be moved a bit after exiting the game...nothing major.
