Can't specify monitor for tabbed dock

October 12, 2007 3:56 AM from

When I first installed ObjectDock Plus on my Vista PC with two monitors the tabbed dock was at the top of monitor 1, which was fine; however, since rebooting, it now appears at the top of monitor 2, and not even in the middle.

How can I get it back to the middle top of monitor 1?

Can you drag it?

Or simply go into the settings menu and assign it to that monitor. Found under the positioning tab.

Thanks for your suggestions. It won't let me drag it. And it's a tabbed dock; it doesn't let me specify the monitor on the positioning tab (the ordinary dock does).

That's true for tabbed docks, however, it should drag. Right Click the Dock > View > make sure "Lock Dock Position" is not checked then drag the dock. If that doesn't work you've probably got a borked installation. I would uninstall/reinstall. Make sure you don't still have the free version installed.

Note that even if you are putting it in the right place and locking it down, the tabbed docks have been known to "migrate" from one monitor to the other depending on where your mouse is during login.

This thread identifies the behavior in question and has alerted the developers to the fact that it has not yet been fixed. But they are on this one.

Thanks, all. Mysteriously, it has migrated back to the correct position - perhaps due to the behaviour mentioned by Excalpius.

Yes! I can get it to drag now, so I'll do that if it happens again.
