OD Too Big! in Docks WinCustomize Forums

Hello I have ObjectDock basic (free) and have had no problems wharsoever with it. In fact, it's a brilliant little program. However, I was just wondering if it is possible to split the dock into two halves so that I can have one half on the left side of my screen and the other half on the right side of the screen? I only say this as I have so many icons in the dock now (as it saves overloading the start menu as I can then delete from the start menu and just use the dock to open programs) tha

Now it's time to master the finer points of widgets, desktops, themes et all. Guaranteed I will make one almighty great big cock-up of those as well? But hey, am I perfect? I don't think so and thanks again to you all for helping. Greatly apprectiated! I know where to come in future when I do (as I most certainly will) make a total balls-up of it all - again! LOL! Thank you so much. Mike, Rochester, Kent, UK

Its OK now as I have sorted it and it was all my fault for not looking and checking correctly! Whenever the widgets loaded, the run/open box came up for every widget and I had to hit the run button. However, in my haste, I didnt notice that there was a check box at the bottom of the run box thats said always ask to run this program! I unchescked it and everything is fine now. And all because I wasnt paying attention! Both widgets now open perfectly every time without me having to hit run or open

I think its a DesktopX screen that I am using (I really don't know)? I am using Q's Mindwarp DX Wallpaper (the best) if thats any good? And the widgets I am using are only two. One, The AcerPowerCon.exe and two, on a clear day (clock).exe. These are the only two widgets I am using. I am sorry that I cannot be more helpful but as I said, I am totally new to all this and get a bit confused with all the things like what screen am I using? A Desktopx Screen, and AV screen, a run/cancel screen etc. S

Yes, the widgets that I use are all set to run automatically when Windows starts at boot etc. & they do but I have to click an open/run box for them to actually open & load. They don't load onto the desktop automatically on their own. Maybe thats the way they are supposed to be? Seems odd though that I have to open them every time I reboot or log off & on? Thanks for reply anyway. Mike.

Trial I think (well, it said try it anyway and I have not paid anything just yet). No, they are seperate widgets and not part of any themes. The widgets I am only trying out as I am new to all this, are the ones that come with the trial DesktopX program when you downoad it and quite a few that I have tried and used from WinCustomize as I am a memeber. Is this any help and thank you very mcuh for replying. I thought nobody was going to help me? Cheers! Mick, UK

Hi all. I am totally new to widgets and didn't even know they existed until a few days ago (I thought a widget was what's in the bottom of a can of Guinness to give it a head when it's poured into a glass)? However, I digress. I have a few widgets that I really like, my favourite being the Acer widget for shutting computers down (all my computers are Acer, so I would wouldnt I)? Is there a way of keeping a widget always on (or whatever its calld), so that whenever I reboot my computer, its

Reply to logon studio not working in Windows XP WinCustomize Forums

I had a problem using Vista Transformation Pack 5! If the transfo pack is installed, Logon Studio works fine and the Vista UI etc looks the biz! However, I have had to remove the transfo pack as it was messing around with opening links in IE 6 or 7 and for some reason, nothing would activate any links anywhere, not even in emails when I allowed them to be opened. After I removed Vista Transformation Pack 5, everything works fine, except the Logon Studio?
