Open windowblinds in skinstudio
Tuesday, February 7, 2012 by DaveBax | Discussion: Stardock Support General
Have been using SS for some time now and ran into this problem. Just prchased a new computer and loaded everything fine. I sometimes need two WB skins open at the same time in SS. I use to click on my shortcut link and open SS. Fine all works well but when I wanted another one opened with the first one I clicked on the shortcut link and it opened another SS window so I could open the second WB in SS. Now if I click on the shortcut again all it does is min or max the already open window. What am I missing here please as far as a setting so I can have 2 or more SS windows open at the same time?
Thank you

Zu, I always used it with Objectdock and also tiles. I just tried it from my desktop and I can open as many as I want. never tried it from the desktop before. Really don't want desktop icons to show. Has to be something in the dock setting but can't find it.
Ok I found it in objrct dock settings/advanced tweeks and unchecked the top one. Don't see that option with Tiles. Thanks for having me try the desktop icons and when it worked made me look better in object dock

For Tiles, try clicking on the running process with the middle mouse button, that should open a new instance.

Rosco I have a left and right mouse button. The middle one is only a wheel. Also when I open it up from tiles it loads but there isn't an icon in tiles for SS till I close it. Would be nice to have it work from tiles but at least I have it with my docks.

@ DaveBax Try pushing down on the wheel. FYI, most do click, also many can "tilt" from side to side.

I need me one of those fancy mouses. lol
Seriously, the pain in my hands since my car accident is pretty bad. I need to find a new mouse that won't hurt me as much. (Not sure that the surgery is going to solve the pain problem or not)

Ever tried a Vertical Mouse? I hear they're great:

Nothing fancy here. All 3 of my Logitech cordless mice have this feature. My corded one doesn't. None cost more than 10-20 bucks and in fact, my kb/mouse combo was under $20( bought it on sale)
Yes, I'm cheap.

I've been looking at those and some the ones with the ball. Just don't know about the latter for Photoshop, though I am learning to use my Bamboo tablet more.
That makes my hands hurt just looking at it.

Yes it does click but it just locks it in for auto scrolling a page. Maybe Tiles should have the same setting option that object desktop has. hint.

What kind of mouse do you have? It may have software that you can change what that clicking does.
Object Desktop, or ObjectDock? Which option are you referring to?
