Systray Docklet Crash

October 11, 2005 1:47:53 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
After reading the forums here a bit I see that docklets who show what's in the system tray seem to crash OD a bit.

I'm a new user and love OD, but like others, I need the systray, and my OD crashes a few times a day.

I use the "ObjectDock Tray" by Melchior Moos, version 1.21.

Does anyone know of a newer/better docklet that accomplishes the same thing?

Thanks!

The built-in systray dock of OD+ (SDMCP) has been rock solid for me.

I'll second that.... ObjectDockPlus is the way to go.

I'll third that.....but I have performance problems with it if it's on a dock with anything else. If you go with plus I suggest putting it on it's own "standard" dock with no animations. Additionallly, I would use a smaller icon size for those apps that use a custom icon that will look crappy if expanded.

Can anyone provide a screenshot of what it looks like in OD+ in the suggested configuration?

I have posted a couple screenshots which coincidentally have docks similar to those suggested by Lantec. But I usually change the icons, because I find the defaults look poor at any size. Otherwise, my OD SysTray has been fantastic, no probs.

Anyway, in both shots the SysTray dock is in the lower right, where you may expect.
This one shows a zoomer (regular) dock as a SysTray: http://rabidrobot.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SkinID=12147&LibID=13&comments=1
and this one is me experimenting with a tabbed dock in that position: http://rabidrobot.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SkinID=12355&LibID=13&comments=1

They work great!
