I want to learn how to use ObjectBar
Monday, September 1, 2008 by Philly0381 | Discussion: ObjectBar
Looking for folks who use ObjectBar to provide some helpful tips on how to set it up. I've looked in the WC Wiki, some help there but I would rather talk with some users.
I am currently using ObjectDock Plus, Impulse Dock, DesktopX Widgets and Objects (down the right side of the screen some what set up to look like a sidebar) WindowFX and SVD. Would make for a cluttered desk if I didn't use the hide of screen feature when not in use.
Because of using ObjectDock Plus I think is would opt for the sidebar look. Can you add DX items to the bar? If it makes a difference I run XP.
If you want to add a screenshot that would be cool. Not looking for skins but more of seeing how you use ObjectBar.
Any and all responses will be appreciated. Who knows, we just might get ObjectBar being used by more folks.

I have a question about objectbar that I didn't see in the tutorial... I just installed it in place of "desktop sidebar" for 2 reasons... 1- Desktop Sidebar kept freezing and 2 - I LOVE STARDOCK PRODUCTS! I also like how I can make it match my Windowblinds theme....
Now onto the question... in desktop sidebar I'm able to drag icons from the folders on the sidebar into my e-mail client, saves a heck of a lot of time and makes things soooo simple. I can't seem to get Objectbar to do this... just doesn't drag. Is there a setting I should use or some other option? Anyone know??? Right clicking to copy doesn't work in my E-mail client (Lotus Notes).

Question: why would you want to drag them there...? I guess, maybe, I don't understand...

I have a folder loaded on objectbar with excel spreadsheets that I send to people. That saves me from browsing to the folder they're stored in and adding it to the e-mail... because there's different folders so I have to keep moving around... Dragging is a lot easier than browsing to the folder in my e-mail client the old fashioned way...
They usually have the text next to them but I removed it for privacy purposes...

OK, that makes a lot of sense... drag & drop...
nice option... but it's not possible with OB.
