How to get my dock the way I want it?

from WinCustomize Forums

I usually run my dock with ObjectDock with out the windows task bar showing but it gets annoying because I want to see the programs that have been minimized to the system tray by where the WINDOWS (not object dock) clock is where there are little icons to click on. The way I have it set up is I have one main dock on the bottom of the screen for me to launch programs from and then a vertical one on the right side that shows my open/minimized programs but I can't see my programs that are minimized to the system tray. If I go to Dock Settings>Dock Contents and then select "Display System Tray Icons Along with my Icons" they still do not appear. I guess thats not what I want or there is an error. Hopefully you can understand what I am talking about and help me with this.

 

Thanks

If you are running the free version of ObjectDock there is no system try support.  Which version do have?  Ooops if you are running multiple dock then you must have the Plus version.  What OS are you running?

Which version of ObjectDock, latest is 535u. System tray is buggy at best, I have a sys tray tab on a tabbed dock, only 7 of my 16 sys tray icons are currently showing. There is no rhyme or reason, example, for Winstep Extreme the icon for Workshelf is there but not for Nextstart.

I ran ObjectDock Plus on my XP Home 32bit system and the system tray worked fine.  I had a tab set up on a tabbed dock for it.  Unfortnunatley it will not run on my new Vista 64bit computer.  Hopefully that is being looked at for an update.

Okay so I guess this can't be fixed. How often do updates come out? Will this feature be expected to work in the next update?
