SysTray and Task Bar in Same Dock

December 25, 2004 1:33:14 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
Hi,

I'm a new user of Object Dock Plus, and I really like it. However, I can't seem to be able to put the system tray and task bar on the same dock, which is quite a problem, as now I have to have two separate docks. Maybe I'm missing something simple, but every time I click on one in the preferences, the other gets unclicked.

Any solutions?

My solution is a taskabr dock 'top left', and a systray dock 'top right'.
You could also use a tabbed dock, with a systray tab, and taskbar tab.

I currently have something similar to your first solution. However, it seems kind of odd that you can't have them both on the same dock, as that would seem to make a lot of sense. So I am guessing there isn't really a way?

Currently I have a main dock bottom center with taskbar to the left side of it, and a small systray dock on the bottom right corner that autohides and I can call up, so they never collide.

this is a problem i face also, i am a new od user but have almost mastered it in one sitting, that being said--i overexaggerate. lol any ways, how do you maximize a window you know you minimized because you have a lit circle showing, my only flaw so far, thanks in advance, please reply.

Personally, I use the taskbar dock. I click the apps icon, and the window is restored.

I've noticed a new feature in the latest version. Under Advanced Options, there's a setting that reads "When shortcut is run, if program is already running, bring it to the foreground only." (this only works for non-tabbed docks using running indicators)

If your systray dock isn't working, it's probably because you don't have the Stardock MCP (sdmcp.exe) running. It's included with Startdock Central, and can be enabled/disabled in Tools > Settings > General > "Enable MCP notification support" & " Enable MCP SmartStartup"

Sorry I wasn't clear about that..... Tools > Settings > etc... I'm referring to, is in Stardcok Central. I think MCP will be included in future versions of OD+, but for now you'll need to download SDC. https://www.stardock.com/products/sdcentral/
