In ObjectDock version 1.9, an autohidden tabbed dock would display when the mouse was moved to the top of the screen at a horizontal position that corresponded to anywhere the dock was "hiding" (i.e. not just over the tabs). In version 2 I have to move the mouse over the tabs themselves, which I find less convenient, and I can't see any reason why this change was made.
I've just upgraded from 1.9 to 2, and there seem to be far fewer dock entry options. For example, I can't find the "custom flyout menu". The "add new entry" menu has changed - am I looking in the wrong place?
Thanks for the suggestion. I did change this setting (to use memory), but re-starting didn't make any difference. The situation now seems to be that sometimes the names display on top of other windows, sometimes not. I think I'll just live with it! [e digicons]:S[/e]
I have a tabbed dock at the top of the screen. On one of the tabs I have a stack docklet. To force the stack to fly out below the dock, I right-click on a "Configure Dock" entry and choose "This Dock... / Position ons Screen / Top" (the default setting is "Bottom"). This works fine, except that I have to do it every time ObjectDock starts (the setting isn't persisted) - is there something I can do to fix this? (I'm running Windows 7 Pro).
Oh dear...the problem is back. Entry names are now hidden beneath other windows again!
Er...I don't know how, but the tabbed dock names now seem to display correctly (i.e. on top of underlying maxed apps). The only thing I've done (half an hour ago) is download a copy of nspr4.dll & place it in the Wndows\System folder (Google Chrome started complaining a few days ago that it couldn't find the DLL when loading, although it still seems to work OK). This is probably a complete red herring, but I can't think of anything else.

Thanks guys. As Mirsguy says, the names are in the right place (i.e. to the side of the dock). All of the settings suggested by Mirsguy were already in place, so I don't know what to try next. Just out of interest, I tried moving the tabbes dock to the top of the screen (after moving the untabbed dock that was already there) - still got the same problem (names were hidden behind the maximized app). Another niggle I've noticed: untabbed docks re-hide themselves as soon as the m
I have two docks: a "normal" dock at the top of the screen and a tabbed dock on the left-hand side; both are set to auto-hide. When the normal dock opens in front of an app, both the dock contents and the entry names show on top of the app window: when the tabbed dock opens in front of an app, the dock contents show on top of the app window, but the entry names are hidden behind the app window. Is there any way I can get the entry names to show on top? Roger Ashford
