Cannot create drawer

from Stardock Forums
Can someone give me instructions on how to create the type of drawer mentioned on this page:
https://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/MediaGuide/index.html

Here is the picture in question:

I have been able to create the single tabs but I can not get my drawer to be a "vertically shaped dock" with the icon on the left and text on the right.

Thanks!

I can get a vertical dock, but only with the text below the icon.
ObjectDock - Access shortcuts and frequently used applications from an animated dock.

I can't reproduse it either. It almost seems like it's not actually OD in action there. I'd guess DX. (All though the description says something different.) Unless it's a screenshot from a new version not released yet...

I've checked out the issue and have notified the development team about it. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

I agree, could be ObjectBar ?

I'm pretty sure TabLaunchpad doesn't support slide out drawer-tabs like in the screenshot.

I used it for many years until OD+ came out which was a major improvement over TLP.

The only Stardock app that I think can do those 'wharf'-like functions is ObjectBar.

oh dear.. I appears not to be an Stardock application. But rather a utility made by a guy called Tobias Cohen. Here's the website for it: http://www.tobiascohen.com/software/launchtab/

Well, there you go - google does it again.

hey guys. yes, those tabs at the bottom are in fact ObjectBar, not ObjectDock. ObjectDock's tabs are organized as a solid unit. In that screenshot from the first post, there are tabs all over the bottom of the screen that open up seperatly. What's going on there are just a bunch of ObjectBar bars set to autohide with a alien-menu skin


Currently, ObjectDock+ is able to display labels underneath icons only, not to the left/right of them. This may be something we enchance on in the future

Really? It looks very similar to that Launchtab app.
