Visor positioning should take into account Dock
I use standard Dock positioned at bottom. It would be great if you detect this, and place the final position of the Visor above the Dock.

Personally I'm using auto-hiding Dock which is a perfect fit for TotalFinder.
I want to make you happy so in 0.6.1 you have two options how to resolve this situation:
1) show Visor on top of Dock by checking "Show on Dock level"
2) resize Visor window manually and keep it's dimensions in free form mode (check "Free Form Window" on Visor pref pane)
In the future we may find a better solution.

Inappropriate?I second that! Also I saw in another post, that someone complained about TotalFinder hiding behind the Dock. If you are like me, and have the Dock on the left side the Visor-Feature of TotalFinder is really useless, because the window hides behind the Dock. Visor.app on the other hand shows in front of the Dock, please fix that!
I’m sad

Inappropriate?... or it would be great if the user could set a user defined margin on the sides (I've my dock on the left) and bottom so you could see both the dock (or any other hud type application window) and totalfinder at the same time. -

Are you familiar with [NSScreen visibleFrame]? It is quite easy to get the dock (and menubar) size and position from the frame returned. -
I've never been a fan of auto-hiding the Dock, makes me feel lost! I'm a big fan of the new 'Show on Dock level' though, that works a charm!

Inappropriate?I can't seem to figure out how to resize the window that pops up at the bottom...

me too, the visored-window is kinda resistent against resizing ;) ...

I was able to figure out a work around where you set the current finder's window size with AppleScript and it seems to stick. You do need to set the preference in TotalFinder of "Free Form Window" for this to work, use the applescript, drag your window where you want it horizontally, then option + ~ will hide and show it at the bottom properly.
Here's the AppleScript:
-------------------------------
tell application "Finder"
activate
set the bounds of the first window to {0, 0, 1650, 600}
end tell
This sets the width of the window to 1650px and the height to 600px. I found that it worked well on my monitor to leave some space for the first row of icons on the finder's desktop.

In "Free Form Window" the Visor window is resizable and sticks (the resizing gripper is not visible, but the window should be resizable)

Ah sorry in 0.7, I've reimplemented resizing mechanism and it is broken with Visor window. I'm going to revisit the code in 0.8. Right now j2fly's applescript does the job. Btw. great applescript-fu j2fly :-)
