Why am I getting this?

Black background...yuck!

Thursday, July 24, 2014 by Uvah | Discussion: ObjectDock

When I created a new dock and re-positioned it, closed settings and opened it again all I get is a black background. I can still access each dock and change skins but I can't see anything. Any ideas.

Can you unload WindowBlinds or change the skin and close/reopen OD? It looks like a WB issue.

I know this may sound silly, but I would make sure I reboot before doing anything.

Were you able to reboot? I may suggest sending in a support ticket if after a reboot it doesn't fix itself.

I rebooted after unloading WB. Will submit a request to support.

UPDATE: I found the problem. Apparently the cause was Objectdock 2.20 Beta installed with OD+. A response from support told me OD+ is no longer supported and I did not know that so......I did an uninsiall of both OD+ and the Beta, went to the store and downloaded Objectdock and installed that one. The config window comes up normally now. I dl'd the support tool, ran it and sent it with a screenshot I made before uninstalling OD with a reference to this thread. I hope I didn't waste their time.
