Reply to v1.6 Beta with ridiculous number of improvements now up on SDC in Docks WinCustomize Forums

FYI: I think I found a crash-bug, just fyi. If you have the smoothness set to "gradual", then drag and drop several items that have decently-sized icon files (so take longer to load) at the same time and then mouse-out-mouse-in-mouse-out quickly. Might only happen too when the dock is already filling the whole screen so it has to resize the background image down each frame...and I have colorization on too which further slows it. So don't do that. Fixed for next refresh.

Planning to remove "per-class" taskbar icon ability in Docks WinCustomize Forums

For taskbar items in ObjectDock, currently ObjectDock pulls the application's icon (32x32) and stretches it if you haven't manually set up an icon for it. This, ends up looking quite bad. Also, if you set an icon for something in the taskbar, it falls out of sync quite easily with what you've set for it as a shortcut, and vice-versa. All of the above results in mis-matched results with poorly stretched images, resulting in one of the two of the following: (1) the user is left with a

v1.6 Beta with ridiculous number of improvements now up on SDC in Docks WinCustomize Forums

x-Zoomin/Zoomout smoothness significantly enhanced, and is now adjustable! Find the new options in the "Quality & Performance" settings x-Fixed a significant significant number of "little glitches" in behavior x-Completely redone z-ordering system. See the new "interaction" area in zooming dock's positioning options. Should help eliminate problems people were seeing where dock would lose always-on-top. x-Improved handling / awareness of full-screen applications

Hi Keithito, what version of Windows are you using? XP? Vista? If Vista, is User Account Control enabled, and were any of the windows in question ran as Administrator? Also, is your version of Windows 32bit or 64bit? Lastly, the "latest version" you have...is that v1.5? Or the v1.6 beta. Thanks! -Jeff Bargmann ObjectDock Developer

> Interesting idea, showing only minimized windows on the dock. I think that this idea could be added under Grouping without too much of a problem... CerebroJD - you have v1.6 right? You might want to check out options for the taskbar on zooming docks (Will be a little tougher to do on tabbed) -Jeff

Reply to Minimized Firefox problem in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Good news, I believe I was able to fix this It was tricky but the solution should take care of it, and shouldn't negativly effect anything else. My question, is why did firefox have to go do something funky/non-standard to minimize This build isn't up on Stardock Central yet but I'll let you know when it is. Perhaps Mo

Reply to Object Dock 1.5 beta in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

thomassen: Hrm, I'm not seeing that...in regards to tabbed docks not activating when not always on top and when the cursor goes near the edge of the screen where they are. You might want to ensure mouse activation is enabled, and try playing with the slider incase some errored value got into there somehow. That option is in the "Positioning" area of the tabbed dock's configuration dialog. Thanks for the kudos! Even more updates coming that we're ready to turn on in the beta; we'

I wasn't able to reproduce, tried a few different combinations I assume you're using v1.3? What kind of setup do you have as far as how many zooming docks, how many tabbed docks... are any using system tray or taskbars Thanks... -Jeff ObjectDock Developer

Reply to Properties Box At Startup in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Hello, It looks like you probably have two shortcuts to ObjectDock in your Startup folder. Head to your start menu, open up the programs menu and find your way to the Startup subfolder. Try deleting any entries you find there for ObjectDock, and then head back to ObjectDock and re-enable having it run when windows starts. -Jeff ObjectDock Developer

Reply to Run Application in Compatibility mode? in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Hi Athenian, Unfortunatly, I dont think this is easily achievable right now. I'd say create a shortcut to it somewhere and then add the shortcut to ObjectDock, except for that ObjectDock will automatically redirect inputted shortcut files to point to the file they point to not the shortcut itself. As a grossly-overcomplicated workaround however, you could do the following: -Create a shortcut to the program, and in its settings have it be set to run in compatibility mode. -Create a

Reply to DEVELOPER - Will You EVER support... in ObjectBar WinCustomize Forums

Hi Bob... Sorry I'm not personally around the forums all the time I have a decent number of projects that I'm responsible for, Zubaz was kind enough for directly forward a heads-up on this thread to me. That said, I believe I can help with your problem. Folders within ObjectBar 2.0 are definitely re-organizable. Hold shift then drag an item to reorder files within a folder or folder dropdown. Because of technical limitations this isn't possible with the Control Panel but it definitely is with Qu

Reply to Icons Shift Right in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Hi Cynthia Blue & Zubaz: I've tried reproducing that kind of problem before in tabbed docks but was completly unable to get it to happen or figure out what in the code would make something like that happen. Any tips as far as reproducability or more details/thoughts on what it looks like when this happens? e.g. does it seem like a new item has been added so everything is shifted over and the last one goes down a line? or does everything just

I did some things for the v1.3 update (build 526)...give it a shot. Otherwise new in this build also are stubs for me to plug in to for a thing like I had mentioned before, that being an external program sending a message to the dock to have it reset its always-on-top nature.

Reply to ObjectDock 1.3 released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Hi Ronan - can you check the versioning to make sure it is in fact the most recent copy that you're using? In the about dialog it's Build #526 for the latest ObjectDock Plus. (or 525 for the free) Not seeing either of those bugs, just tried having a zooming and tabbed dock both in various positions/various offsets and adding a tray icon couldn't reproduce the 'jumping'.

Reply to Any x64 news? in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Well its a little different situation with explorer, since it's the original application being sent messages by other programs which is what happens when apps request to add tray icons. My stuff on the other hand has to tap into other things of varying bit-type 32/64 and then plug back into my 32bit module. Aye complications. So it's going to be some time for the tray. I'm hoping we can figure out a whole new kind of method to use instead of our old on

Reply to Allways on top, not working right in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Here's something you might want to try in the mean time, see if you get any milage out of it. ObjectDock will set itself to not always on top if it detects a game is on top. It's fairly specific so i don't know how it might be getting fooled, or particularly, how it would ever get stuck. But try this: 1) Unload ObjectDock 2) Locate your ObjectDock settings folder. Going to the following folder will take you there: C:\Documents a

Unfortunatly, I don't think the new release is going to address this still. Any more details such as which kinds of docks (zooming dock or tabbed?) and their docked status/position...or what you feel might be triggering it getting all goofed up? I had figured events such as coming out of suspended mode or perhaps coming back from a game or fullscreen app...I've spent a good deal of time trying to go through and force it into tricky situation
