Splitting the dock

from WinCustomize Forums
Sorry for "double-posting" this, I posted this comment in another thread, but I thought under a new title more people would have a look:

please have a look at this:

https://www.wincustomize.com/zoom.aspx?skinid=11567&libid=29

how can I split the dock? And especially in the right lower corner, this looks like the windows taskbar, where some icons appear when certain programs are running or minimized (for me that would be: AntiVir, Outpost Firewall, Trillian without a chat window open etc)

If I could configure this, I could get rid of that windows taskbar, now I still seem to need it, otherwise I can't access those mentioned programs.

That would be a great help!

That is not ObjectDock. It appears to be the Windows taskbar/systray, skinned by WindowBlinds, or perhaps ObjectBar, or Desktop X.
ObjectDock Plus has multiple dock, and systray support, but the free version does not.

That's a WindowBlinds skin. I can't remember the name of it right now. Had it on my XP partition, but I'm logged into Vista now. Sorry.

Maybe someone else knows the name?
And by the way: how would I have to use that anyway? (Blinds in general)

But another (maybe just too damn stupid) thing:

(from the tutorial hankers linked to)
Dock Settings" select "Show system tray icons on the dock"

Where is that option?? Am I too blind to see that? Or isn't that included in the free OD version?

That would help even more than splitting the dock, I don't want to use the windows taskbar just for the few systray information (that I still have to use though)

ok, thank you for that, but how do I have to use this now?
And is it possible to use this "split dock"?

In another thread I got the answer that I would need OD Plus for that.

It's not a dock it's a Windowblind and you'll need to install the Windowblind program to use it. You can get it HERE
The skin has several sub styles you can choose from.
