A couple of quick questions
Friday, June 16, 2006 by BigDogBigFeet | Discussion: Object Desktop
I'm fairly new at this a novice user. In any case I've been kinda poking away at stuff to see how things work. So far I like my purchases - well worth it. I would like to ask for a bug fix namely better support for large and extra large fonts. I use tool bars on the windows task bar and with higher screen resolutions I really need large and sometimes extra large fonts. However, Window Blinds cutsoff the bottom of larger fonts on the windows task bar. For example, in My Desktop, when selected as a tool bar for the task bar the bottom of the y and p are cutoff making them look like v and o. Any fix for that? I've enjoyed DesktopX a good deal and like its ease of use when loading Desktop themes. Can the same be done for Object Dock? It would make Object Dock much more enjoyable since when trying to find Object Dock themes using advanced search doesn't work reliably and properly installing Object Dock downlaods is no easy task. Anything in the works for that to make it load complete themes like DesktopX does? Finally I would like to maybe upload a screen shot now and then is there a widget or other utility available to take a snapshot of my Desktop? Thanks for the products. They're overall great.

If I remember correctly (had it a while) download, unzip, open the folder inside, move the inner folder (if you open it and see the .dll and stuff, back up) to:
C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Docklets
C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Docklets

Thanks for response. Found the screen capture docklet. What's your opinion on my other two questions? Do you have problems with using large and extra large fonts? How about my question regarding better themeing for Odject Dock?

I don't mess with the fonts.
But on my system, if I add the Desktop toolbar the bottom of all the letters in Desktop are cut off. The only way it looks good is if I turn of 'title'.
As far as themes for ODock - I'm using the free version - all it is, is backgrounds and pngs. Not sure how a theme would work in regards to replacing your shortcut icons since the person creating the themes doesn't know what short cuts you use. Try it, add some shortcuts. Save as a theme when you're done. then load the default theme and the shortcuts you added disappear. Reapply your theme and they come back.
