Bunch of basic questions

from Stardock Forums
Ok, so I've looked and can't seem to find a user guide to ObjectDock Plus. Is there one? There are few options that I am not exactly sure what they do.


Docklets: how do they work? I've download a couple of the system docklets (namely the harddrive % full kind) and can't figure out how to work them after I drag and drop the icon to the Dock.


Stretch it: The tabbed dock works best for me, but I can't figure out how to stretch it flush with both sides of the screen. Any ideas?


System Tray Tab: Any way to replace these icons so they are clearer? I have my tabbed dock fairly large and those icons are really fuzzy.


On mouseover tabs: With the tabbed dock "Always shown" is there a way to have the tabs switch on mouseover like they do when the dock is set to autohide change tab contents on mouseover.

I think that's it. If anyone can answer any of the questions I will be one step closer. Time to go back and mess with the dock some more.

Thanks

ComicCaper hit the link and it takes you to WC Wiki and the ObjectDock page. I think this may have what you are looking for.  ;)

Copy the downloaded docklet to the following directories:
Windows XP/Vista 32-bit (x86) = %programfiles%\Stardock\ObjectDock\Docklets
Windows Vista 64-bit (x64) = %programfiles (x86)%\Stardock\ObjectDock\Docklets

Once you have moved it there just right-click on the dock and select add > then select the docklet you want to add (will be towards the bottom).

Just hover your mouse over one of the inside corners/sides of the dock until you see the resize mouse then stretch it.

Not possible at this time.

This would be a great feature to have added in, but its not available now.

Left click and hold ( or hold the Crtl key and left click), the DOck Entry Properties dialog will pop up, and you change the icon.

If the icon *did* anything, it won't once you change it though.
