The systray icons are small, so there are not high quality on the docks or anywhere else.

I think you can replace the images with images you choose by shift-leftclick on the systray icon, but not sure if that applies in the new version.  A program that updates frequently, such as an anti-virus, will switch back to the program's icon every time it updates though.

Ya the icons that Windows uses by default are tiny, and when they get enlarged very much at all they fall apart.

Shift click option should still be there.

Hi again!

The sound control doesn't even work..... you have to right click on it and open settings...

Sorry, it's probably [control][leftclick]. (Sorry about that Shirley, I imagine you'd have got it right if I hadn't set it up wrong.)

I have no idea about the sound.

There are a boatload of icons in the ObjectDock gallery https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/objectdock

To search for something for a particular app, type it in the search field (upper right) and then click on the "all" button next to it, then click on the Object Dock icon in the popup window's 2nd row to limit the search to Object Dock gallery.  You'll need to enter the text, then reclick the All and OD icon for each search, or you'll end up searching all the galleries.

Hi again!

Well, the system icons like network connections etc revert back to original icon on reboot........any suggestions?

Don't know what to tell you about that either other than I'm seeing that here too with the network connection on the old version.  I seem to remember when I was playing with the systray I ended up changing what would stick, and keeping it on a separate dock relatively small so that the stubborn icons didn't look too bad.  As you've probably guessed by now I'm not hugely familiar with OD at this point, maybe somebody else will come along.

Hi again!

Thanks for that...just wondered if you know how to make a shortcut for volume control with slider like windows has?
