Sorry...I should have added that each clock would be on a different time.

You can do it with SysStats docklets really easily.

I made a special script for SysStats 2.0.3 (see http://chris-th.wincustomize.com/default.aspx?SID=5412&UID=593854), but it's no longer necessary with SysStats 2.5.4 because the new clock objects have a configurable timezonesetting built-in. I'm running two clocks right now - one local time and one Central Eurpoean Time. The new clocks even auto-adjust correctly for daylight saving changes!

Hey, don't thank me! It's Judge (who made SysStats) who deserves all the props!

I don't know if I was clear in my earlier post, but you don't need my clocks anymore (i.e they're now obsolete) if you use the latest SysStats (v2.5.4) because the timezone stuff is built-in now. It's a snap to set it up with 2.5.4.

Most (maybe all?) of the weather objects get their information from the web site www.weather.com (as far as I know). So to test your town enter it on the web site and if it works it's possible to display it on the docklet.

I guess if it doesn't have your town exactly then you will have to enter the name of the nearest major city to you.

To Khayman & Kosati, check this clock out: https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=7010&LibID=29

It's by Judge and it's a wonder to behold IMHO!

i am having a problem with object dock plus... and I am not sure where to post this message. When I make a tab dock, it does not show up under the my docks list or what ever you want to call it and I can't edit the tabs. I was wanting to make my own OSX type tabbed dock just to help me keep crap organized but it isn't working I have downloaded other docks that are tabbed and i can't edit their tab and styles either.. please help guys..

Thanks,

Dustin

fatenabu1,

You will definitely want to save your downloaded images, backgrounds, docklets, and any created theme files to a temporary folder, then uninstall ObjectDock program and reboot computer.

Delete the ObjectDock folders after uninstalling from the following locations:

- "DRIVELETTER"\Program Files\Stardock
- "DRIVELETTER"\Documents and Settings\"USERNAME"\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock

Note - if you can't see the "Local Settings" folder listed above, open My Computer and go to "Tools>Folder Options>View tab" to select "Show hidden files and folders", then click "Apply".

Reinstall ObjectDock and test functionality using the default theme.

If all goes well, move your saved files back to their relevant locations and have fun!

I hope this helps.

Dustin,

If this is a shot of the tabbed dock that loads when first launching ObjectDock (with a new dock added by yourself) - you seem to be using the program correctly.

Something else is going on there.

If you have used either the "My Docks" button (shown in your screenshot), or the System Tray icon - to access the "My Docks" dialog and then created a tabbed dock with the same results, then I would suggest sending an e-mail to tech support Email and include the screenshot, system information, and describe what you have tried so far.

Hopefully someone who has seen this problem will drop by in the meantime.

The only other suggestion I would have, would be to unload all customization programs and return Windows to the default settings - then try to set-up the dock again.

I just deleted the ObjectDock cache on my machine to force a first time load situation so I could test it, and the tabs all appeared in the list, so I am thinking that there is one of the following issues:

- Installer file problem (perhaps try installing with Stardock Central, if you are using a downloaded ObjectDock installer).
- Another program is conflicting with ObjectDock.
- A graphics card driver issue (though I do not really suspect this is the issue).

If you do not already have Stardock Central, you can go here Link, and fill in the relevant information to receive a download link.

Sorry I could not be of more assistance.
