how to create a separator on object dock?

February 10, 2003 4:02 PM from

for object dock, if there is a program opened, the program icon will be separated from the initial icons by a spacer of some sort. is there a way to add spacers manually because i want to have games, spacer, programs, spacer, misc. stuff.. the only way that i know of making a spacer is create a new icon and set a spacer image for it, but it zooms when my mouse goes over it..

thx

I think that's just the spacer to seperate the task manager portion of object dock. I don't think multiple spacers could be used atm. Good suggestion though

I played some hours with this program and tried putting following in the "DockItems.ini":

[Settings]
Group1Count=13
[Item(1-1)]
.
.
.
Group2Count=x
[Item(2-1)]...

but it doesn't work. It does not recognize the new Group and I have no idea how to define a spacer?!

I checked it out myself and tried several things.. I think it's definded in the .exe or a .dll file. Because it has to know where to put the spacer and the other icons.

I hope, I got that question right.

I have blank spacers between groups. I did a blank png file in a graphics program and saved it in the OD folder. Then click 'Configure Object Dock' - 'Add SysCommand'. What You get is the question mark. Drag it wherever You like and click right to configure it. Delete the title, click 'Change Image' and select the empty png file. Be sure, that 'Do Nothing' is selected as command. Ready. I will place the blank spacer in the graphics section here.

Add to #6: Blank PNG is in ObjectDock section. Not graphics. No biggy c242.
