Thanks for Icon Drag lock ....

Monday, February 21, 2005 by Corky_O | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I just wanted to say "Thank You" to Jeff Bargmann and the Stardock crew for including the new "Icon Dragging Lock" feature with the new ObjectDock Plus update (version 1.11.518u), which prevent people like me from inadvertently dragging an icon off the dock and watching as it disappears in a "POOF".

The feature is found in "right-click dock > view" menu on tabbed dock, and "right-click dock" menu on regular dock, there is also a "Lock Dock Position" option.

Thank you, Jeff & Crew!!

I guess this is also a heads up for those who use ObjectDock Plus (and perhaps the free ObjectDock program) that there is an update available.

Peace, and Keep On Customizing.

Seems solid so far. One fix not mentioned was where the tab names were sometimes truncated. At least mine no longer are. Thanks guys!!
