Disappointed by the "new" "features" of Object Desktop

* ControlCenter - Why am I not allowed to have CC at the RIGHT of my screen, where I've always had it before? At the left, just in case nobody noticed, it covers a mass of icons.

Mine's on the right - where I just now put it - did you undock and drag it to the right? and how would any notice it covers a mass of icons on your computer. Doesn't matter where I put it, I got no icons showing on the desktop.

ControlCenter - Why am i forced to have a 12-hour clock?

I'm now using a 24hr clock. did you go into editor and replace the special with a regular clock? then configure it for 24hr?

* I HATE products which assume I'm some kind of moron who knows bugger all about computers, and tries to force me to install absolutely everything on C: Not only that but on just C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\, then restores my products once per invocation, so that for every single product I have to carefully edit the install path.

so, the set the path for installation in SDC settings didn't work?

OK, thanks Bichur for your quick reply. I did try dragging CC, but it wasn't easy to find a grabbable handle. So now I have it on the right.

I found the clock, too. Is there anything like the "old" one? Plain text isn't too exciting. And anyway I seem to have put too many things on CC - the clock is there, but shows just off the bottom of the screen. Or is there some way of reducing the size of the virtual desktop images? I want them displayed vertically, but would be happy if they were a bit thinner.

Is there any way to restrict the stuff above the VDs selectively? The floppy and the optical devices don't really need to be there, nor My Documents and Shared Documents.

Thanks once again for your help.

I have to ask if you have tried the new ObjectBar? It has many of the same features of control center but allows you to do much more.

i think the dtx clock widgets work in CC - try one of those

I think so, offhand I can't recall .. not at home now

you might also give this a try

My Tab LaunchPad behaves oddly!

If I left click on an icon it opens a change icon window - I have to right click/open to open a programme??
