I come bearing more news... unfortunately it is not very good news.. :(
dexpot has an issue if CD is on the Z-level "on bottom" - if you go to another desktop it will simply refuse to maximize CD but will refer your cursor to where the dock should be as usual
the strange thing is that rainmeter doesn't encounter these minimize problems. its not even in the static list for me and it still stays up and does not even minimize... interesting :huh:
Tested every option on the dock on ur tut from the settings to back and all 4 desktops and all work flawlessly. the dock only minimizes on the 1st load of a desktop, after that all loads of the desktop have the dock up and not minimized. here's the settings i have if it helps: ;)
