xquidam: 64-bit system tray not yet supported, turns out it's quite quite a bit of extra work! We're working on that for a near future update Also you should be aware that system tray is a plus-only feature. System tray though is there and works better than ever!
Thanks Excalpius, we're exploring our options I like the checkbox idea -Jeff
Hi mark343gs: Sorry to say, that ability *was* indeed purposfully removed from this release. We're seeing what we can do to bring it back in the future in a simpler kind of way. Very sorry that a touch of functionality was lost for sake of "dumbbing things down", but the good news is we are hoping to find a smart way to bring it back. Worst case scenario, perhaps an option in the advanced options to get it back in its original form. Please refer to this thread for more info: ht
Ah, the fanning is slow even in the weather docklet? Which OS are you using, XP or Vista? And what kind of video card? You may want to head out and try the latest drivers if you haven't updated in a while
No yeah that is definitely RightClick... it'll do a refresh when the WindowBlinds skin changes but it shouldn't do it if the skin hasn't changed! Anything that you're doing with WB at all that might make RightClick think that the skin has changed? Quite odd! I do actually have a thought though... now keep in mind we're still updating RightClick to support Vista fully the current release wasn't designed "for Vista" persay. I think a problem that might be coming in to play is that UAC was
Hi Dave, Hrm. Which part is slow? The animation / fanning out? Or is there just a long delay before you see anything at all? Also, if the animation, is it slow too when scrolling through the items left/right, or is it just the flyout animation itself? Thanks, -Jeff Bargmann ObjectDock Lead Developer
Yep, took steps to find and eliminate the problem(s) You're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoy the software!!
Hi baopee, "DockShellHook.dll" uses a mouse hook that gets notified of all mouse activity so we can effectivly do the zoom animation, etc...and yes as benign as that is some security packages that are desperatly looking for things to flag will flag it down for that. Don't worry, we can assure you there is no threat -Jeff Bargmann ObjectDock Lead Developer
noetus: I've made note of the problem in my log to take a look at - unfortunatly we're running around doing a lot of things so won't be able to address that specific one right at this moment, but I will say that we are indeed looking at improving ObjectDock's behavior in general regarding screen resolution and monitor changes in the future. (E.g. so tabbed docks don't get pushed into some unwanted position if you change resolution down temporarilly and go back, etc etc.) Sorry that you'
Lexilempel: sorry but not at this time Though... if you create a "toggle autohide", then it will have similar effect. When autohide is toggled "on", reserving the edge will be temporarilly disabled. When you toggle autohide back off, reserving the edge will be turned back on. (I believe this trick will work with zooming docks only at this time). Hope that helps! -Jeff Bargmann ObjectDock Lead Dev
upeters: very very odd! Thanks for the video, yeah, that is certainly strange. Well lets take a shot at figuring out what's going on. Can you package up your ObjectDock settings files and mail them over to support? Make sure you reference it as a v1.9 bug to make it easier to find. You can get at your ObjectDock settings by going to the "Troubleshooting Options" area, and selecting the third button from the bottom that says "Open my ObjectDock settings folder so I can backup my settings". <b
Si OrdesI - please refer to the other thread We're hard at work with our partner AccuWeather adding support for more and more cities with our service - just workin out the kinks in the data transfer. Thanks!
Hi everyone! Just so you know, its a brand new weather backend on our servers, so we're still working on that for international locations. If your location doesn't work right now, don't worry we're working hard in conjunction with AccuWeather to get *all* available locations up and running! A note also about locations: right now it can be a little finicy about what you put in. Particularly, if you'
MontyXP: we did see a problem with that on one of our test boxes. Good news is it's fixed Now that 1.9 is getting real exposure we're finding a few little things we missed an fixing them promptly Also yeah Excalpius youre right... JukEboXCreaTionS: you have task grouping on. You'll want to go into the pro
Darken: Because in Vista, the Programs Files folder can often be completly locked down, by default. As result we've been forced to move settings to the user's data folder, and wanted to go with consistent behavior. I figure better to put this information in one place that is accessible vs. hidden away in an appdata folder.
jtherrien: unfortunatly I'm pretty sure there's a way around that :-/ Show Desktop I'm able to work around even though that does some certainly goofy stuff...but Flip3d is at far lower level than i can reach. Though, for tabbed docks if they're not always on top and you have them set to show in the taskbar, I think that they'll show up!
So that thing I was talking about in my post yesturday night about the previously-unalluded new feature? You may not have immediatly noticed it...and thats its point! The new feature is subtle and there to make tiled backgrounds on zooming docks finally practical. The problem with tiled backgrounds before, was that in most cases you needed really specific icons for them to look proper. Reason being, otherwise if the image was large, all it would do is cover up the background and you wouldn't rea
Lantec: that's the free version's dialog...in the plus its in the same space Available on zooming docks, scroll through...you'll see there is i think 4 tile backgrounds included updated to use the latest skinning features. Give them a try! Bender50: Try CityName, PrivinceAbbreviation. "Toronto, ON" works for me! We plan on continually improving the location-recognation code here on the server-side to m
WebGizmos: You're exactly right We ended up deciding that there were wayyyyy too many ridiculous dramatic improvments across the board for us to just "up it by 0.1". This one deserves to get noticed! Haha oh and hey! Might as well tease... So for those involved in the Betas - while you think you've alre
Just a shoutout - thanks everyone on the ObjectDock messageboards the last couple weeks for trying out the beta!!!! Huge huge huge huge help in keeping ObjectDock a top-quality product Thanks for the help testing everyone
aman2812: I think v1.9 which is coming out very soon will be able to help you. (It is the one that has been beta'd as v1.58/v1.59 on stardock central for the last couple weeks.) I've seen situations like this but very rarly. I've seen it when it comes to messed up security permissions on the settings folder. I've got something for you to try though. Once you get the new version, you'll see on the main screen a new "Troubleshooting Options" button/dialog. Open that up, and you'll see an
cepheid: Vista or XP? x64 or x86? Thanks v1.9 (rebranded from v1.6...there was just wayyyyyyy too many dramatic changes hah) will be available on Stardock Central tomorrow. Hopefully this doesn't exhibit the issue you were seeing / we can find a solution.
'same thing'? some details on what went wrong might help us remedy the problem - anything else you can tell us? thanks!
also: if you have a crash report please forward it over to support, with "v1.6 crash log for developer" or something of the like in the subject! If it didn't offer to save one, there's a good chance that you can find it in your ObjectDock's home folder... it'll look something like "ObjectDock Crash Report (4-21-2007 462d937de).zip" thank you!
rustysam: have your tried any of the new troubleshooting options?
