Standard tabs shown when "Background w/o custom tabs" is selected

April 6, 2006 2:30 PM from

Hey!

I was looking at a friend's desktop who had ObjectDock plus installed. I really like the idea of having such a neat clean screen. But one thing annoyed me: Whenever I try to select a "Background without custom tabs" the ugly standard tabs are shown. Plus, they are all of different size and show the full name/title only when I activate the name of the icons within the tab. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to get a nice background (e.g. Industech) and NOT the tabs!?!? i.e. I want the tabs "integrated" into the background
Thanks!

You would have to edit the .ini for the dock and maybe the image aswell. Industech is a standard dock, when using any standard dock as tabbed dock the default tabs are used as the dock does not have tabs.

I tried something like that and I guess I have to fine tune the position and text colours etc. Thanks a lot!!!!

In the Object Dock folder there is a text file called Skinning the dock, it is very helpful.
When I replied above it was quick as I was on my way out the door. To have no tabs just the text on image, you will need to set dock up as a tabbed dock in the .ini. Add blank .png for the tab, then it is all in the settings.
For an example here is one of my tabbed docks with no tabs http://cavan1.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SkinID=8722&LibID=29&comments=1.
