Automatically activate tab when hovering

from Stardock Forums

Hi, i just downloaded trial version and im very happy... But there is missing option for automatic activation for mouseovered tab when you are hovering over tabs. I would buy this software if you can add this option.

 

I use autohidden tabbed docks and when i move over dock, i cant change tab without pressing correct tab. Also how i can put tabs over icons when dock is positioned top edge of screen? Or can i?

1:-The setting is there,under advanced tweaks in settings tab & it does work.I too had that issue on xp a while back however it may have been because i didn't check the option was ticked,until i saw your question i never gave it a 2nd thought i just accepted it was broken..lol..Tho i coulda sworn you could move the mouse over each tab & it would activate each tab as you moved as well

2:-No such setting exists & would most likely make it pointless to have tabs,it would i assume require a re-work of od for the tabs to stay static while the icons slide under the tabs ,either that or the tabs themselves would be hidden once it retracted as they'd be on the top bar of the tab.

 

edit:just remembered there is a flyout thingy it would make a good alternative i had no idea it worked with tabs as well

Not working when moving mouse over tabs (horizontally). Only first one will be activated. And because i have dock behind browser, i dont know every tabs exact location. If you ever used Dell`s dock software (made by Stardock), you would know what i meant. Best ever but requires Dell machine.

Or best option would be to bring that Dell dock software to any machine, i would buy that immediately. So easy to use, drag&drop shortcut/program to any custom made folder/icon and hover over them without pressing mouse button.
