Heads Up ObjectDock Users!
Mass Redo/Update coming
Monday, January 1, 2007 by WebGizmos | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Ok..here's the deal.
In the process of updating many of my earlier (these were the first docks I ever did and in some cases did not include side tabbed docks) and some newer docks...it has come to my attention that there was an error in parts of the tag for some of the side tabbed docks. As in...rather than there being an lowercase "i" which is what it should have been...it was a uppercase "I"...which renders the tag null & void and in the process has been cutting off the tops of tabs in docks docked to the right and left of your screen. All I can say is...bad eyesight. If you use anything bigger than a 15 inch screen you might not have even noticed this since the dock is stretched out enough so that you wouldn't see it. But you might have noticed the tabs were a bit off center. Some of you might not even use side tabbed docks and would have never noticed this at all.
As of now I have fixed/updated 74 out 271 docks....not all of the 271 will need updating or even fixing...but I will be going through all of them to make sure.
As soon as they are done and since there is a large amount of them I will be bundling groups of the docks in zip files hosted on my site for faster downloading and I will post the links for them here in the forums. Once you have downloaded them, all you will need to do is move them to your backgrounds folder in Objectdock and allow them to overwrite the previous ones...unless of course you made some of your own modifications to them.
I will be shooting for the end of the week for this update so watch for the post titled "Updated Docks Download Links." I will try and keep these zip files around 5 megs each and they will also be in alphabetical order...as in one will contain docks titled A though B and so on.
I will of course be updating the docks that are in the library as well, but that will take longer and I wanted to get these out to everyone in a timely manner.
Sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused anyone!

Your welcome Erk! Included in this will also be any docks that I did that only had top & bottom tabbed docks are being updated to include left & right tabbed docks as well...and in addition to that I am cleaning up some early stuff as far as graphics, edges, and tabs that may have actually been to small. There are some that will take longer to do due to the graphics used, but there won't be that many. But they will also be updated soon.

I know you are going to hate me for this, but:
Would you be able to provide a list with the Names of the updated Docks? That way I can just check my "never-ending and ever-growing" list of Dockbackgrounds and see which ones I have to download.

Oh sure...make it all difficult now! Aufisch...Basically what I'm doing...since I have to update such a large amount (and these are mostly tabbed docks with broken tags & docks that did not have side tabbed docks when first made)...is I'm putting the docks in zip files starting with A through C in one and then D through L and so on and posting a link to them in another post when they are done....I will also be updating them in my library as well, which will take longer, so I wanted to get these out in a more timely manner. As of now....the biggest zip is 5.63 megs and the smallest 1.91megs...I still have a bunch to go over...but the 5.63 is the biggest I will make them. But...I will make a list as well under each zip to let you know whats in each zip file.
In some cases, I start updating the tabbed docks and end up redoing the whole set...lol. I just finished some cool looking FauxsToonXp docks and redid the AlienTechnology docks as well.

I can't believe you would go to this length to fix and update your work. You're amazing, WG. To go the extra mile like this...man, I can't wait to check it all out.

Total of 266 Tabbed docks have had the tags corrected and/or had side docks added to them all in the last week. Unless you use side tabbed docks you probably won't notice much of a difference...but it drove me nutz that it was there so I had to fix it. 
And yes...I need therapy!
I've also completely redid the FauxsToonXp docks there was only on before, there are a total of 9 now plus some neat looking zoomers have been added. Just waiting on Mormegil.
Now...gotta go make that list for Aufisch.
