Names in ObjectDock are too short

from WinCustomize Forums

I am wondering if there is a way to make the names of things longer when you are only showing the name of a link. I kind of want to have my dock on the right side of my screen with all the names of my games and such. The issue with this is that all of the names are insanely short. (which makes no sense...) and I am upset that I paid 20$ for this program and it has such little customization. Is there any way I can make the names longer? (streching the dock only makes more columns of these Dea..., Gra..., Eld...)

Ideally I would like to have a dock with small icons on the side and the name next to them like it would show up on windows, but if I cant do that. The names would be alright if I could even read what they were without having to scroll over them.

Can you post a screenshot of this?  I just added a dock to the right side of my screen, and it's not truncating the text at all, so I may be missing something.

I think I have the same issue.  The names under the icons on my doc are all truncated.  In all of the example screenshots of the beautiful docks on Wincustomize, there are no names.  Since I know what the icons do, I'd just as soon turn them off.  I don't mean to hijack this thread but it seemed like we were asking the same question.

I'm also not having this situation. In any position the names are as I named them. 

Did you right click on an icon then click Settings then click on Edit this shortcut. At the top of the open window it says Title. You can name it anything you wish.

OK!  That worked like a charm.  I had to restart ObjectDock to see my changes.  But I just deleted all the text in the name field and it is fine.  Thanks for your help.  I feel pretty silly now.

No need to feel silly as things and places are hiding all the time. Glad I could help.
