Try this. Right click on the dock. Go to add>docklets>flyout menu. See if that's what you want.

2. Tab titles can be displayed on left side instead top - only when is set as attached to left/right edge of screen?

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

I created one own in aqua color - TransAqua

But it has one problem - how to make folder file list writen in white text? Even - is it possible? Because black text is very hard to read on dark background.

That tab is actually an embedded Windows File Explorer control so it uses the system color.

If you are using WindowBlinds, you can, easily change the color to whatever you want . . but it will change it everywhere.

I have WindowBlinds and SkinStudio... not used yet...

I want to give to Windows own look, but don't have time yet.

The Q now is (not about ObjectDock): is possible to set background to dark black?

If yes, I do much more personal Windows mod, but here it gives new Q: I'm using Win10.1703 - planned is Win10.1709 - can update affect my work?

Thank you.

You may be best served to make a copy of one of the existing docks and look at the ini file to see how it's put together and then create your own images to use.

ObjectDock is not supported in Win10 right now but it should work just as well.
