Running indicator overlapping dock icons

Anyway to stop that?

from WinCustomize Forums
I have a question as to if it's possible to stop the running indicator from overlapping the dock icons, like on this screenshot (of RK Launcher):



Is this native ObjectDock behavior or something skin specific that can be adjusted? (Using 1.5 free version by the way...1.9 just didn't sit well with me.)

I don't know of a way to stop them from showing but I did come up with a work around.

I opened one of the default running indicators in PS, set the fill to 1% and saved it as 'Blank.png' in the running indicators folder.

Choose it in dock settings and it's there; you just can't see it.

Ermm, well no I don't want to stop them from showing, I just want to stop them from overlapping the icons.

See this (compared to the RK Launcher example):



In OD the indicator overlaps on top of the dock icons, whereas on RK Launcher it displays *under* it.

Hey Bebi, you have a few options, adjust all your icons to have a larger trans. background. The indicator and icons occupy the same space, the closer a icon is to using its full background size, 128x128 or whatever, the more the indicators will overlap. The icon size you set OD at also affects the overlap, the smaller you run at the more they overlap. You could also edit or make an indicator that has the image in one of the corners instead of the middle. You could also make indicator at 256x256 to give a glow effect. Image note: quickly over done glow just to give you the idea.

Oh, I get it. My mistake. It sounds like Cavan is on to the solution, though.
