On Windows 7 x64 Home Premium.
In the Zoomer Dock when I use view "show all running windows" or "show minimized windows" those items/programs show up on the (far) left side of the dock. How do I make them be on the right side of the dock instead?
Having them on the left is driving me nuts after years of having them on the right and all the docklets (especially the Start Menu!) on the left... Thanks!
P.S. totally willing to manually edit a config file somewhere ![]()

When will an update with some problems fixed?
The last update was 3 years before this one, so I *really* hope it's not that long.
When I read that I thought of Jim Carey in "Bruce Almighty" and pictured Jeff Bargman sitting at his desk with a bazillion postit notes plastered to his forehead! ![]()

Sorry, I don't have any release information on ObjectDock Beta updates yet.
Reply #248 Monday, April 26, 2010 3:27 PM
actually this is not a bug: "the missing beta version (freeware\minus)"
but I would like to know if there will be the "freeware" version with the final OD 2.0 release ... hopefully earlier ![]()

10 pages feedback/discussion. Sorry i will not read all these.
Anyway, i decide bought the OD 2 as well, because ~7 Euro isn't much ...and even i state that beta/RC/etc should be free.
But i notice that i can not launch any right click option via dock anymore (not referring RightClick-program).
I had Open Admin command prompt, create system restore snapshot, manage, etc e.g. on computer, what are handy to use.
And some program may need Admin rights, or so. Why these functions are removed, or is there option to turn this on/off?

I purchased the V2 upgrade. I downloaded and installed it using Impulse. it says that my version is 1.97.. I've seen references made to a 2.0b version. How do I get the latest version???
Thanks,
Reply #253 Tuesday, April 27, 2010 8:31 PM
Thanks,
Not sure why Impulse shows v1.97 but that is in fact Object Dock Plus 2 AKA 2.0b
Reply #254 Tuesday, April 27, 2010 8:33 PM
Thanks,
Same, i guess 2.0b = 2 Beta, because i have also 1.97.
Reply #255 Tuesday, April 27, 2010 8:53 PM
The ObjectDock Plus v2 Beta is actually version 1.97 in Impulse. If you have v1.97, then you have the ObjectDock Plus 2 beta.

I've seen this before, but have been unable to reproduce it. It's on my list of bugs, though, so hopefully this can be fixed in a later beta release.

Hi, I've been playing with this for a while, and I too an having the start menu problem when used in combination with windows 7 and wb7. Also I cant get the wether docklet to show up in the menu. It's in the right folder, but not there in the add>docklets menu. It worked fine on my last install, but not since I did a clean install. Other than that, i miss a couple little things from the previous version, setting the tab justification, indicator options. For the modt part though, I like the new features. and can't wait for the next release.

I hope the option to change the font on the tabs will be readded in the next update, but I did find a work around to change it.
Close OD. Go to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Stardock\ObjectDockPlus and open the CurrentTheme.ini. Scroll down (or do a Find) for TabFont and change it from Arial to whatever. Save, reopen OD. ![]()

anyone know when a new version is due with bug fixes? Some of the bugs are getting rather annoying ![]()
Edit: mainly the unclocable folders, and the windows folder view not showing as thumbnails(instead they show as my computer icon)
