Sysmetrix "reserve screen space trouble"

Published on December 11, 2003 By Cyberjack In WinCustomize Talk

"Reserve screen space when theme resembles a dock. This option causes SysMetrix to reserve screen space if the theme is on the screen edge and at least 75% of the screen width/height. When the screen space is reserved, an application that's maximized won't cover SysMetrix."

Yes, I have tried everything, but I never get sysmetrix to "screen space reserved"
- an application that's maximized won't cover SysMetrix.

I have Pixxy Sysmetrix theme installed, on the right with these H/V values:1130/0
Snap to Grid: 15
Use theme-specific positining "checked"
Reserve screen space "checked"

Thanks!!

It might just be an error in the actual sysmetrix program (I don't use it anymore so I might be wrong). Do other objects work right? I am not exactly sure what you are asking though

Let me ask first if I understand what you want it to do. When you open up something maximized you want that window to cover sysmetrix. In other words you don't want to see it when you have say your browser open? If that is what you mean just uncheck those boxes about positioning. I have both boxes unchecked and my snap to edge distance set at zero and sysmetrix never shows if a window is maximized. I basically only see it when my desktop is showning.

Hope that helped.

I wasn't sure if this is what you meant in your question.

Sysmetrix does have an "Always on top" feature doesn't it?
I've not used it for a long time so not sure about any new versions....

No, I want maximized windows to not cover sysmetrix, what i really want is that my desktop ends there sysmetrix begins, in other words:
I will have a smaller desktop, when I am using sysmetrix...
And a bigger desktop when i am not using sysmetrix.

Got that?

Thanks!!

Finally, found an "syntax error" in the pixxy main background image...
The image was way to high , about 150 x 2000 pixels
I croped the image down to 150 x 1092, and that worked..

Thanks again for your helps!!
