ObjectDock not showing up in screenshots

Is there any way to enable it, is it the screenshot programs' fault, or is it my systems' fault?  I've tried about 3 different programs, including just pasting into a paint, and it doesn't show up.  It's a nice thing to show off to others, and I'd like that :P

I don't think many screenshot apps support ObjectDock.

TO take a screenshot of ObjectDock, press the Print Screen [or Prt Scn] key on the top right of your keyboard. Then try pasting it. It works for me all the time. If even that doesn't work, then there must me some problem.

No...I meant other than Print Screen. Like, if you use a program like Jing/SnagIt, which doesn't involve Print Screen at all. I always use Print Screen myself :D

As previously stated, I have already tried to paste it. I even just attempted again. What did you paste it into?

Any graphics program, even MS Paint will work.

How are you capturing the screen, print screen button?.

When paste just nothing happens or any error message, sometimes when PSPX acts up I will get a message that cannot get info from clipboard.

On my keyboard have an F Lock button which switches the PrtScn button to insert if turned on not got something like that have you by any chance.

Nothing happens and it goes through good. On Programs, the file comes up exactly the same as the paste ones do. I've tried Print Screen, Shift+F10, F1, and some others to no avail.

If it has any effect, I'm using Windows XP Dark Edition SP2 with intel 4 3 ghz processor, with 512 MB of ram, and a Intel 910GL video card (I know it sucks, upgrading really soon).

This may be your problem, it is a cracked version of Windows.

May be, however it isn't. Just purchased OD Plus and it works now. That's a bit unfair for the free users :P. May not be their problem, but it works for me now so I'm happy.

It's already skinned, but I used windows blinds for the vista royale 2 look. And it only works for copying and pasting still =/. That's a minus for me because I like simplicity for my progz to create an image already.

Oh nevermind I just figured out the problem...it was the transparency. It was a little too opaque. Oh well, at least this is a reference for future users who have this problem and use the search button :).
(Which I had used before posting, as I know it's common courtesy :P)

You must mean too transparent, opaque is solid.
So it was pasting the icons but not the background?. Trans slider, if it is part of free version, only adjusts the background not the icons.

I never had a problem capturing my dock when I was using OD, and I used a mostly-clear OS X style background.

you could always use the 'capture' docklet for objectdock
