This also happens when the dock is sitting on top of the taskbar and you hover over an area where an icon would be.
Just a question about the interface...but there seems to be a font discrepancy and it's killer on the eyes. Yes...cleartype is enabled, the font in the second window just isn't smoothing friendly (MS Sans Serif = fail). For those savvy enough, the font can be substituted in the registry (which is what I just did, win).

I made this new skin with reflection and true stretch, and whenever I go to change icon size, my computer crashes, windows explorer and everything. I have to log out and log back in. I'm running windows 7 64 bit ultimate. Any help is appreciated. 
EDIT - I think I've pinpointed the problem. It only crashes when I change icon size too quickly while using "bubble" effect.

When using a floating tabbed dock that resides in the background, whenever I have a window open over top of the dock and I move my mouse over the location of the dock in the background, the name of the icons on the dock are displayed on the top window.

Be very careful about font replacement via the registry. You may find some windows size based on the font and if you change it then bad things may happen.

Uhm, where did the icon transparency option go? I'm sure I saw it when I first installed OD2, but can't find it now?

Under Home choose Dock then Style & Color / More Options

Thanks, I use tabbed docks and that's why I didn't see it. I wish that option could be added for tabbed docks!!!

[Request] I use Adobe Bridge as a file browser. I just learned that if you drag a folder onto the Bridge icon (on your desktop) that folder will open in Bridge.
I have seen Mac OS-X users do this very same thing by dragging a folder onto their Bridge dock icon, and Bridge opens to that folder. Also, I've seen them drag .psd's to the Photoshop icon, and they can open the file that way.
It would be really nice to have this functionality in OD 2.

I would like to se this functionality for any program on the Dock. It could act like the "Open With" option in the right-click menu, where OD2 would automatically pic the program based on the EXE that the dock icon is linked to.

uhh, how does this work with od plus? Can i just install over it?
Reply #195 Saturday, April 10, 2010 6:31 PM
I've been doing it since XP. 
And yeah if you try to replace a system font with something bigger (I tried Segoe on XP) some things get cut off (like in the desktop properties window). But simply replacing MS Sans Serif the with cleartype-friendly Microsoft Sans Serif is almost an even exchange.

Argh....stupid double post. Forums were having a meltdown. 
Reply #197 Saturday, April 10, 2010 6:32 PM
OD2 installs to a different directory, so you shouldn't have to uninstall the previous version, I didn't.

I've noticed that skins made for tabbed docks made for OD up to 1.9x don't work as intended with 2.0 Beta. The tiling is "broken":

Well that certainly sucks!
