UB hand history windows fix with TweakUI

[Soul Rebel]

I remember seeing a post from a few weeks ago where a bunch of guys were complaining about how the UB hand history windows are always popping to the front in Windows, which makes typing and web browsing incredibly annoying. If you get TweakUI from the microsoft site, go to the "General" category and click on "focus." Then check the box that says "Prevent programs from stealing focus." After that, those stupid boxes can't take over windows anymore, they'll quietly blink in the corner and won't come to the front. Hope that helps.

yeah thats good stuff. Also good is the xmouse option in tweak UI, where u can have focus follow your mouse. Like say it passes over a poker table, its now in focus...it doesnt pull it above anything, it just makes it so u dont have to double click any buttons or anything while playing.

I should try the xmouse thing. It always bugged me, but it's probably good for multitabling.

I was hoping that this would prevent the HH windows from popping in front of my UB tables, but sadly TweakUI only works in between applications, not within an application. Does anyone know of a hack that will either stop the HH windows from popping in front of UB tables or at least will cause UB tables to pop back to the front after the HH windows have done their business?

Move them all down to the corner of the screen?

Doesn't help the fact that the table is now in the background (no sounds, anything you're typing gets interrupted).

I have the same problem with Absolute Poker. The new tables steal focus, so it's really hard to do anything. I used that TweakUI but it didn't seem to have any effect. Any advice?

Found this thread while searching for some tweakUI help. I installed tweakUI but like veganmav it seems to have had no effect. I am running XP Home with SP2. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
