Systemtray tab doesnt work

also cant remove name from tabs

from Stardock Forums

Hi all,

I just bought objeckdock and i already have some problems.

I cant get the systemtray tabs to work. It doesnt show anything in it. This is very annoying because im using an objectbar skin which doesnt have a systemtray. The systemtray tab was the only reason why i bought objectdock. The only way to access my tray now is unloading objectbar. -_-

 

also trying to remove the names from my tabbed docks in the "tabs appearence" but everytime i restart they reappear. Is there anyway to make a nameless tab? I already have a symbol on my tab which indicates its use, i dont need the name.

help please? :S

If you're using paid OD Plus now, did you have the free version installed before? If so, did you uninstall the free version before installing the paid version? If not, save and backup any themes and icons you want to keep, uninstall the OD Plus (and the OD free if it's still showing out there), reboot, and try re-installing the Plus.

Also, on XP the systray function will only work if you are logged in as a user with Administrator rights.  If you are logged in as a Limited user, you can make the systray work by starting ObjectDock using the right-click "Run As" option and using an administrator user and password.  If you use the "Run As", you are actually using, modifying, and saving the Admin user's docks.  If you want, you can also create a systray dock in the Admin User, use the "Run As" once to load the Admin dock each time the Limited user logs on, exit ObjectDock, and then start it up again normally and the systray will work during the current login session and use the current user's docks- the Admin rights need to be there just once during a current Limited user logon to get the systray services started up, and those services only start up when a systray dock is loaded.

Hadn't really tried that before, but messing with it now, it sticks color names in as tab labels like "Red" or "Orange".  Anyway it seems like OD won't let it stay blank.

You CAN have duplicate tab names, one of my docks is set up that way, so maybe if you want you could use a single letter or symbol as the tab names, like maybe an "l" or "o"?  Symbols might be problematic but you might find one to work.  You can also set the font and size to something ridiculously small.
