Icon Titles Disappeared from Tabbed Dock
Also: Delaying retreat of docks after moving the cursor away.
Thursday, August 3, 2006 by Empbac | Discussion: ObjectDock
I have a regular dock at the bottom of the screen and a tabbed one at the top. I'm not sure what might have caused it, but the rollover name display feature has stopped working just on the tabbed dock. And yes, I have made sure various times that the feature is enabled in the dock settings. I installed WindowBlinds recently. I also used the Registry to disable right-clicking the Desktop. Maybe that did it? Anyway, is there a way I could get this working again without having to reinstall ObjectDock?
Another question while I'm at it. No reason to make an additional thread. I had installed OD several months ago, then reformatted and reinstalled this later version. At that earlier time, it seemed that once I took my mouse away, particularly from the standard dock at the bottom of my screen, it tended to linger for a second or so. I think I even remember an option slider for setting the delay time. Now I see no option for it. If I move my mouse over the spot, the dock comes up immediately, and it likewise vanishes (quickly retracts) once I move the mouse outside the dock area. I'd like to have a 1-2 second delay. Is there a way to achieve this?
Thanks for the responses.

For your first problem.... I'm not really sure. I have a problem with the icon labels disappearing, depending on where the tabbed dock is positioned. But this is on the second monitor of a dual monitor setup. I've aways thought it was a dual monitor quirk.......
For the second question. Open the Properties dialog for the dock > Positioning > Mouseover activation > there's a slider there labeled 'fast'......'slow'. Try playing with that, and see if it helps. I don't remember any other delay setting for this in any version.
