Wireless Connection

from WinCustomize Forums
I use a laptop and in Vista on the Windows Taskbar by the time there is an icon that shows you wireless connection status. Does anyone know how to get that on to the ObjectDock? Maybe showing signal strength or just if its connected or not? Also the battery level on it would be a great help too. ObjectDock just doesnt look good with the taskbar below it but the taskbar also has a lot of things on it I look at.

This is a great question. I'm just commenting so it shows up in my watchlist later, hoping there's a positive answer to this.

I currently use Yahoo! Widgets for both battery and Wi-Fi, but I'd love if I could consolidate it all down to my dock, and get rid of stupid Yahoo! Widgets altogether.

Ok I've downloaded the icon I'd like but I dont see the battery meter or connection dock in Objectdock... Is this only a feature with pro?

Icons and docklets are two different things.
What did you download?  Link?
Are there instructions in the description?

I have the same problem and they don't work with DX either.

I have been trying for a long time and just gave up on it.

So now i just use vista sidebar gadgets.

I am sure stardock will fix problem in the future.

I got the battery working, but I can't seem to configure SysStats to get the info. I can get it in the dock, looking right, but it won't feed on the info from the connection center. Oh well. I'll figure it out eventually.

Ahhh . . Vista.
All those docklets were created during the BVE (Before the Vista Era).  They may not work . . ever.

Thanks, Zubaz. I'll see if I can get it working when I get home and am on my main computer tonight. :CONGRAT:
