Moving and grouping docklets and icons in ObjectDock
Tuesday, January 6, 2004 by SebaSan | Discussion: Stardock Software
Hi guys,
does anybody know if and how one can move up or down (or right and left) icons and docklets in ObjectDock?? Maybe a silly question, but I can't find out... Also, is there the possibility to group similar "taskbar buttons" like in windows taskbar (i.e. all folders in one folder, for example...)
Thanks for the help,
SebaSan

Make sure you have the latest version of ObjectDock. (Older versions do not support grouping) I think we're up to version 1.00.006.
Now, there are two ways to add a separator:
In the ObjectDock Properties screen go to Create>New Separator.
Or...right click on an empty area of your ObjectDock and go to Add>New Separator.
Once created, you can move these separators around like any other icon. If you have trouble dragging and dropping icons, make sure "Lock Dragging" is not enabled. You can find this by right-clicking on the dock.
Ciao!

| #1 by IPlural - 1/6/2004 12:15:21 PM drag and drop docklets and icons where you like, you can also configure the taskbar to be either on the right or left or for it not be invisable in the configuration menu #2 by IPlural - 1/6/2004 12:16:59 PM oh, on the grouping sim-icons, there isn't any container docklets that I know of, though I've seen a post or two about a docklet called "kkmenu" or some such that might do the trick for you? #3 by Citizen SebaSan - 1/6/2004 12:25:52 PM Thank you IPlural. I figured out how to move objects, and will look forward for kkmenu!! #4 by IPlural - 1/6/2004 12:29:55 PM welcomes |

Sorry for redundancy, hadn't figured out that there was a help mb... BUt let's make myself clear for what I mean with grouping similar icons. What I mean is, as implemented in the windows taskbar, the possibility to have one single icon grouping, for example, all opened internet explorer pages. A pop-up menu than let you choose between the desired one. This allows not to have a 20 Km (or miles, as you prefer)-long dock, with more than 30 icons that looks at that stage veeery little...
I found kkmenu that looks nice, but I don't think it works automatically with new windows one open or close...
waiting for some more,
thanks a lot to everybody,
