[SOLVED] How do I reposition the launchers on ObjectDock plus
Monday, May 19, 2008 by TiredOldMan | Discussion: Docks
I have searched the forums with no luck so far. I have started using ObjectDock Plus and Like it, but I have a problem getting the launchers positioned where I want them.
I have tried to left-click the icon and hold it while draging it to the left or right but that does not work for me. could someone tell me if what I am attempting should work. If not, could you tell me how to adjust the placement of the various icons so I can get the groupings I want?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[SLOVED] Thanks to cagedty who pointed out that having my mouse switched to left-handed could cause the problem.
I switched the mouse back to the default and was able to modifu the icon/launcher position as desired. Then, returned to the, for me, more comfortable left-handed position.

No, sorry, I should have said in the first post.
The way it responded when I first tried caused me to go looking for such an option. I tried it with the option checked and un-checked. I get the same reaction either way.
The icon I am attempting to move starts to move and then hits the edge of the adjacent icon and drops back to it's original location.

Thanks for the pointer. I went there and tried all the items listed - no joy. The original poster didn't get a resolution either.
Believe it or not, I really did search for this but must have missed that thread. Sorry for the duplication.
I will continue over there to eliminate any more duplication.

Are you using a left handed mouse? If so switch it back to right handed to drag the buttons. I came here looking to see if icons could be dragged at all then it came to me...
Works only with a right handed mouse.

Many thanks. You were correct. I was using a left-handed mouse. When I switched it back I was able to position the icons/launchers exactly where I wanted them. What a strange problem.
Again, my appreciation for the help.

What a simple solution that was. I like seeing [solved] on the post,others can now refer to it if they have this problem. Stardock may have a way to fix this in a future update,save you "lefties" a headache.

When your mouse is lefty-configured, are you unable to use the right mouse button to reposition the icons? (Seeing as how the button functions would swap when you change from a right-handed to left-handed mouse).
I would think this is the intended result -- left clicking on an icon (when your system is configured to provide a lefty mouse) will bring up the properties context menu for that icon.
