Unload ObjectDock through a command line?
How? Is it even possible?
Tuesday, August 28, 2007 by x1942x | Discussion: Object Desktop
Im just woundering if it is possible to unload ObjectDock (1.9) through a command line?
I could use taskkill /f /im ObjectDock.exe but then it won't save any recent changes that has been made.
I have also tried taskkill /im ObjectDock.exe but nothing happens
Thanks!

I seem to remember a thread a while back where someone was writing (or trying to write) a routine to unload OD while they ran a game and reload OD when they quit the game. You might try searching through the forum threads.

I also have this problem when playing games, just ending the process would not save the settings. Maybe it's a good idea to implement quit command for objectdock EXE.

The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

ObjectDock no longer has the UnloadObjectDock.exe bundled with it. The developers were not aware that it got left out. Look for it in the coming updates!

One more question, is it possible to toggle disable-enable a specific dock by clicking a shortcut?
Well, till now I'm still using the old ObjectDock, because the 1.9 doesn't have "normal layering". It is whether always show or always hide when a full screen window active. I'm too used to with the layering behavior. No layering option in the new version, so it should be I'm the only one, not a problem tho I could always use the old one. But, hopefully the UnloadObjectDock.exe would work on the old version also.
