ObjectDock, Systray Help

Also, is there any way to allow both the system tray and the taskbar to be shown in a normal dock?

Nope, not yet. Lots of us are hoping that becomes a possibility.

As to the other problem, are there no icons that show up in it at all? I have had problems in which not all of the icons show up, but are you not getting any at all?

You mean like this:



Taskbar & Tray work in OD+ for me.

mrtee... you can't link to images on your hard drive, only you can see it. 

Yeah, I can't get any of them to show up. I've tried unchecking the option to autohide any icons. But that didn't work either. In OD, when I check the show systray icons, it just becomes a narrow blank space.

I get a similar problem witht eh sys tray icons. ANy process that loads at startup into the tray (like NIS, volume control, WB, etc) don't show up. Only apps loaded after OD executes and OD itself show up. Kinda defeats the purpose for me. I hope it is fixed.

Other than that I only have 1 other OD+ complaint. The show desktop now hides OD as well as minimizing all apps. If these two issues can be fixed OD would be 100% awesome IMO.

You guys should contact [email protected], and ask for assistance with your systray troubles. That isn't normal behavior for the systray in OD+. There are a few icons that don't show for folks, but nothing like what you're reporting. For me it's the WindowBlinds tray icon that doesn't show (ironic ain't it?) 

Concerning the Show Desktop feature, it was recently explained in a thread, that Show Desktop doesn't minimize anything. What it does is place an overlay of the desktop over everything. Using the WinKey + M solves that by actually minimizing all windows.

Sorry about that.

Koasati:

What thread is that? I can't find it. Also, if using the SHow Desktop puts an overlay over everything then why did it work in previous versions of the regular OD? There has to be some attribute that allowed OD to stay "up" after the Show Desktop was applied.

What is the keystroke to max all windows after you min with WinKey+M?

TIA.

Can't find the thread.... But I found the same info in the newsgroup..

 

" What it is said there is not realy true. The "Show desktop" icon realy open a full screen, borderless, controlless explorer window on top of everything. That window show what explorer "think" is your desktop, blatently ignoring anything that may change it.
The best workaround is to use keyboard shortcuts.

Winkey + M to minimize all
Winkey + shift + M to restore all

Also have no idea why Show Desktop doesn't work like it used to, but you could ask in the objectdock newsgroup.  news.stardock.com 

Thanks. I'll post up to the newsgroup and see what happens. If it worked before there has to be a way to get it working again.
