I've got objectdock, but im havin a prob with window ordering, it hides behind my desktop, but if i set it to always on top, well,the prob is its always on top :p. if i set it to mouse activation, it activates everytime my mouse hits the top of the screen. but when playin games, it makes the game minimize, annoying to say the least. isn't there away to keep it on the desktop like the way it works with explorer shell?

I stopped using objectdock due to this. The only theme it worked correctly with was the Gathering theme.
sincerely

Try using this:

It should close your dock when you start a game and reopen it when you are done
