Hi, my name is Stefan. :happy2: I just thought I would like to register and share what I've just discovered with you guys about rocketdock's infamous disappearing "Show Desktop" click.

As you all know, clicking on show desktop will minimize Rocketdock to your desktop, annoying isn't it?

While I was upgrading to rocketdock v1.3.5 I came across this external feature, called Vista Analogue Clock. I don't know what made me want to draw near it, but I guess I love looking at time, everytime!

So, I went ahead and installed this analogue clock application, and it was displayed on my desktop, along side with my rocketdock, and that's where the magical moment began - I clicked on show desktop, rocketdock DID NOT minimize!! Even pressing the Win + D ALSO did NOT minimize the rocketdock completely! Then I thought to myself for a moment, could it that Analogue clock application helping to anchor it onto the desktop? I am no software engineer, nor do I know the engineering explanation of how softwares works, but with the Analogue clock software enabled, and showing on your desktop, it somehow anchored rocketdock completely.

I have also tried it on my laptop, which is using Windows Vista, and it works the same. Even pressing the Win + Tab for the 3D Winflip also DID NOT minimize rocketdock too, along side with what I explained above, Win + D and clicking show desktop icon.

Then in my next test, I tried disabling the Analogue clock, and yes, as usual, rocketdock started minimizing itself every time when I press any of the buttons. Both Vista, and XP.

I would like to show proof to you guys, but I need a screen capture software. Then maybe I can upload it via youtube to prove it to you that I'm not making this up in anyway, nor is it my intention to do so. At this moment, the only thing I could show is screenshots. If you could recommend me any screen capture software, I would like to show it as it works.

As you can see in this screenshot, the clock appears on the left top side of the screen. And sorry for the copyright watermark, as I drew those buildings myself. :happy2:

Hope to hear from you guys...
