I would reccommend you to keep your auto-hide bars at the left side of your screen as most of the time you don't need the mouse there.

My family made me remove truelaunch bar from their Windows User Accounts because Truelaunch unhides too quickly when the mouse is moved to the edge of the screen. It drove my daughter nuts even when I slowed her mouse travel.

I keep my Truelaunchbar to the left of the screen and wound up installing another application called "Desktop Coral" which effectively takes up an adjustable amount of space when docked there. It can be adjusted by dragging to allow a buffer zone that you can over-shoot the mouse into and not trigger an unhide. It can also be made transparent so that your wallpaper is not affected. It does reduce the size of my open windows, but this is a compromize for sanity's sake.

After saying all this, I really would like TrueLaunchBar even more if it had an adjustable delay for unhiding, even if that means a standalone version that does not use Explorer to unhide it.

Even with TrueLaunch docked on the left side, and Desktop Coral docked there as well, I overshoot and TrueLaunch unhides and gets in the way all to often. Also I prefer keeping my old toolbar alive as well as the start button and it's "Sysem Tray" and I prefer it docked on the opposite side, on the right of the screen. It too unhides prematurely and gets in the way and sinse I can only use one Desktop Coral at a time I can't use one on that side.

This, and the fact that I cannot find a way to change the color of the seperators, takes away from the convenience that otherwise could be.
Have a Goodun, Cheers!
