ObjectDock won't honor program window size. launches full-screen
Sunday, August 2, 2009 by egk | Discussion: ObjectDock
I only started using Objectdock during the Windows 7 beta testing. Basically I just wanted program to put back the lost functionality of the built in docking toolbars that XP and Vista both have. I just use the dock on top and hidden to hold all my most used program icons.
Anyway, my only problem with the program on Win7-64bit is that with some programs (Agent newsreader in particular) the shortcuts put in to objectdock don't honor the program window size. Instead they launch the program in full screen every time. The exact same shortcut from the desktop works fine to launch the program with the same size window as I left it. Has anyone else seen this and is there any fix for it?
I wish Microsoft hadn't removed the built in docking toolbars and now I can't do without them. Objectdock is a nice program but unless you want all the extra docklets (which I remove) and the special effects, it ads nothing in the way of funtionality that I need. I've also tried Rocketdock and that does not have the problem with windows resized to full screen. Rocketdock doesn't support 64bit though.
