ObjectDock Plus 1.10

Background.ini file changes

Tuesday, January 11, 2005 by Essencay | Discussion: Docks

Changes made with the latest version of ObjectDock 1.10 may cause docks using my backgrounds, especially backgrounds with embedded tabs, to show the tab text truncated on the last couple of tabs, unless you stretch out the dock. This is because I used the following two tags:

TabContentBufferLeft = 5
TabContentBufferRight = 5

to make the embedded tabs appear correctly under previous versions of ObjectDock Plus. I am going through all my tabbed dock backgrounds I have uploaded here to fix this. So far Glass Effects Clear and Glass Effects Aero have been updated. Optionally you can edit the background.ini file yourself and delete the following two lines, re-apply the background and the truncated text will correct itself. As I update each tabbed dock background, I'll post it here.

Note to Admins: I purposely didn't check the update, because this wasn't a major update. The files uploaded no problem and I got the standard journeyman message noting that they did not need to be moderated. However, under My Skins page they don't show unless you change to the Awaiting Moderation page. Both skins are still readily available when you click on them from that page. Just weird that they show in moderation and I can still download them. I haven't checked yet to see if they are showing in the general gallery, my guess is they don't.

Thanks ~K~

The following three ObjectDock Plus Tabbed background had to have the scripts rewritten. I couldn't correct them just by deleting the TabContentBuffer lines.
