ObjectDock 3 - Couldn't find "show system tray icons" feature.

I have been with ObjectDock 2 for a long time and recently having some of my system tray icons showed on my quicklaunch bar but some icons will be missed if their applications load after ObjectDock (This is why I upgraded to ObjectDock 3 with the hope that the issue will be fixed). However in ObjectDock 3 the feature to show system tray icons is nowhere to be found. Is it dismissed in ObjectDock 3?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Yes, some features were remove from ObjectDock 3 to make sure its compatible with Windows 11.

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for the confirmation, please consider bringing it back when possible.

Well I just wasted my money buying version 3. Quite useless without system tray icons. Would have to leave my windows task bar unhidden. 

Time to roll back to version 2 again and eat 10 bucks.

Maybe you could give people a heads up BEFORE they buy it that it no longer has tray icons.

I just bought a new pc (windows 11 64bit) and had been using object dock on my old machine for 12 years, anyway I took advantage of the upgrade offer for windows 11, upgrade? rather a downgrade compaired to v2, I miss the show tray icons and the ability to have a floating quick launch has gone, even though I didn't use the flyout icons on my old pc this time I would have but sadly that feature is not to be found, please dont stop developing this app because its just too good not to have.

Another disappointed one here and rolling back to V2.2,wasted upgrade money.

OD3 still installs into the x86 folder?

Plus is there any way to make only the systray icons smaller?

Just found my systray speaker icon doesn't work,no left or right click works to bring up speakers,win11.

How did you find them? I use the systray icons a lot. I bought Object Desktop for Multiplicity, but am trying out all the different products. I really, really like this app, BUT I HAVE to have my systray.

You need to be running an older version. They took it out in the new one. You need between version 2 and 3. They wrecked version 3.

I found a solution. I unhid the taskbar and set the taskbar to autohide. Object Dock doesn't require me to go low enough to make the taskbar appear. When I need something in the System Tray, I just go low enough to get it to appear

The only issue is that it no longer stays on top. What the dev team needs to do is just add an option to always be on top even when the taskbar is off.

What I found on W10 64 is that it refused to react after a folder was closed.

It took about 30 sec on v2 to come back, so I thought this would disappear in v3 - its still delaying, but a little shorter, now its 15-20 sec before it reacts.

Maybe my dock is too packed, but it was even more filled on XP and it never had this issue before.

Is there a setting I should try?

Version 3 is useless, waste of time. The trayiconfeature is essential. Where can I download Version 2.2?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. If you did purchased OD version 2.2 before it should be available here in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products 

Thank you,

Thanks for your reply. No, I've purchased Version 3.

Sorry, If you did not purchase v2.2 before, you don't have v2.2 in your account page.

Thank you,

Can I import all tabs and program shortcut from 'Tab Launchpad' (V 1.1.0) into Object Doc ?

Tab Launchpad is still my favorite tool on Windows 10, but starting up is very slow.

 

Sorry, I shouldn't have posted this here, so I'll try to open a new thread.
