Running Indicators don't show up

Friday, June 6, 2008 by Meryse | Discussion: ObjectDock

I have paid for and have the latest version, and no matter whether I check lit circle, default, lit triangle, etc. I am just not seeing any running indicators show up at all. I am using XP. Is this feature only available in Vista? Any advice? I haven't moved any of the default files whatsoever.

On your OD control panel,under Effects is "show running indicators" checked?If not check it,quit OD and re start OD.Also if you were using the free version,did you uninstall it first?

Are you using a tabbed dock, or a regular zoomber? Tabbed docks don't have running indicators.

I never actually used the free version on this computer, bought it in beta so I could use Plus. Maybe it's because I have mixed dock types.

I have a regular dock on the bottom edge and a tabbed dock on top. Maybe that's the issue, since the setting says it applies to all docks. Hmm. I'll see if I can get it working with one dock only, just a zoomer.

Did you get this figured out?  That isn't the issue either because I have 3 tabbed docks and 1 zoomer running.  The zoomer has running indicators showing.

Also running indicators must be placed in c/program files/stardock/odjectdock/running indicators. Placing them in the OD library in documents/stardock/ od library/running indicators will not work.  I found that out after many failed attempts to install some.

Before my very eyes, as I was looking right at them (because I was testing out ones I made), the running indicator underneath iTunes disappeared...a little bit later, it came back.  Weird.
