Sorry to bring up such an old topic (quite a few posts on this one, but nothing much resolved, at least not that I could find). I tried out the method described above and it sort of works. However, if PP emulated this idea, i think it would work great. As an option (clicking THROUGH is desirable on some bars), PP could put a 254 transparent bar behind a 255 transparent bar so that clicks are captured even if they are on transparent pixels. I had trouble with the 255 bar autohiding while my mouse was over transparent pixels, so PP would need to keep both bars unhidden while the mouse is over the 254 bar. I found by testing that ObjectDock seems to capture clicks ON transparent areas and MobyDock clicks THROUGH transparent areas. ------------------------ Yahoo!
