I just got my Atrix from Bell and i'm having problems with the hidden dock bar of my ADW Launcher Ex.
If I swipe up to show the hidden dock bar, i am unable to hide it back again. I've tried disabling it (i'm then stuck with no dock at all), resetting ADW... nothing. The only way i can bring back the dock bar is by uninstalling ADW and reinstalling it.
Anyone had the same issue?
Got my answer from traumatism on another post. Had to setup the swipe up action for ADW to show and hide the dock bar.

And I can figure out why. It's not hidden and was working fine on the stock home screen.
When I go for notifications, the status bar portion stays blank.
Shows for me but do have it set to hidden. Set, restart ADW, then unset it and restart again and see if that shows it.
try swiping up on screen.
That is for the dock bar. The status bar is always supposed to show unless you hide it.

Swiping up can be set to show or hide the statusbar.
Yeah I would try resetting ADW settings, or just look to see if the status bar is set to hidden.
Restarting ADW did nothing. The Sony Home had the same issue. I restarted the phone a couple of times and the bar seems to be working fine now. I switched the Launcherpro to see if I like it more.
Whenever I swipe up on the main dock to access the Dockbar, around 10% of the time it will display the dockbar but it will bring one of the shortcuts from the main dock and place it over my dockbar as if I long pressed said shortcut. I have searched for an answer and can't find anything. I've had this happen on ROMs cooked with ADW by default and with ADW downloaded from the market. Essentially it reduces the Dockbar's usability to zero
Any ideas?
Disabling the hidden dockbar feature helps.
I just update ADW and in doing so it changed my setup including not a big deal, however after looking through all of the menu settings I cannot figure out how to hide the main dock bar. I did have my setting backed up but when I restore then the system revert back to the new ADW defaults. Anyone figure this out?
I just figured this out a few minutes ago.
adw settings -> general behavior -> gestures -> swipe down actions -> open/close dockbar
go back to main screen, swipe down on your screen to close the dock bar
go back to settings and change your gesture back to whatever you were using.

Nice find, I just found a way myself by long pressing on the screen and choosing launcher actions than open/close dock bar.
Now to find out how to place an icon outside of the blue square in other words place an icon anywhere on the screen as before.

Found a problem with both methods, if you rotate your tab the bar comes back up and you have to swipe it again.
If you don't want the dock disable it in the settings

That setting is missing with the recent update also the secondary dock is now gone in this update.
Did the update remove full screen use? Unless I am not understanding the settings in the update. I have been messing with it for an hour. Last update was amazing, this one, seems to have lost some functions.

Apparently the recent update consoldate the old "Dock Bar" and the "Main Dock". They seem to have removed the setting for show/hide the dock from the settings menu, but like others discovered you can still toggle it via the old "show/hide dock bar" command.

The developer has posted another update the fixes the hiding of the bar not sticking also you can use the whole screen again to place icons. I like ADW again.
Easiest thing I've found is to use the "Open/close Dockbar" shortcut.
Longpress desktop ~ Launcher Actions ~ Open/close Dockbar will put the shortcut on the desktop. Then you can open or close it with one touch instead of swiping and/or setting/resetting your ADW Settings.
Anybody know how to get back to the settings after hiding it on your home screen?

Make a shortcut with Anycut? Or are you referring to ADW settings?
By default in ADW, swipe up or down toggles showing and hiding the bar
I am running the Kang release of ICS on my GTab. I am a big fan of ADW Launcher but on ICS, there is a blue bar that runs the length of the screen at the top. I have not been able to find a way to get rid of it (if there is a way). Anyone?
disabling it as default isnt' working here, but when you do set a swipe action in awd launcher to "hide/unhide statusbar" it works fine.
hope that helps.
If you want to permanently disable it and make sure you don't accidentally enable it by swiping, the easiest way would be this:
Long press on homescreen
Choose "Launcher Actions" -> "Show/Hide statusbar"
Click the icon you just made to hide the status bar
Delete the icon to make sure you won't accidentally make it come back
Enjoy
PS: Some people seem to believe that you can't get to "my apps" or "ADW options" if you disable the status bar on top. That is not the case, you click on the "options" (3 dots) icon on the bottom bar to get options, and you can get both app list and options with launcher actions.
I had a similar issue. I couldn't get the status bar to hide when using the option form the settings menu. Instead I set up a button to show and hide it. Its working great, status bar is just a click away.
I appreciate the replies. Feel stupid for not trying the hide status bar.
ADW just plain rocks!
Shame theres not a way to keep the buttons (app draw and all) but remove the blue bar.
Still, at least it matches the clock and wifi at the bottom of the screen :E
Thanks for the heads up on this one! That Blue line was driving me nuts!
Impossible to remove the blue bar.
It does not work for me.
