Glad it's back. I am using a Quicklaunch dock on 2nd monitor. Still using the taskbar on 1st monitor. Is there a way to suppress programs that I run from adding themselves to the dock? I already have them showing on the taskbar so it's superfluous on the dock. Secondly, any ETA on weather widget. One not currently offered in settings on dock. Running released version of Win11

Hey y'all. Currently using Start11, Fences and Windowblinds 11. Regardless of dark or light Windowblinds theme, the continue, cancel etc buttons on Macrium Reflect are blacked out. Turn Windowblinds off and they are fine. This is the only program that I have seen this happen. Using Windows 11 Beta Preview 22623 (queued for unenrollment [e digicons]:blush:[/e] ) Resolution is 1920 x 1080 144hz. Love having Windowblinds back!

Thanks Basj. Appreciate the quick response. I was afraid that was going to be the answer. Unfortunately, Windows Personalization doesn't want to change that color either even when I apply a custom color. I guess Microsoft just wants it their way. barryzee

Hey y'all- Not a developer so this may be a little simplistic. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] So regardless of what Curtain I apply to Windows 10, currently 2004, the menu never goes full black. Always stays dark gray background with lighter gray tiles. Any thoughts? Ever since Aero (I'm an old guy now) have preferred jet black with some transparency all around. Unfortunately have not been able to do that for a while. barryzee

Thanks for the response Lantec. I suspect that you are correct. I guess I will retire Apogee in IP and use the icons as Misc. Icons. Like mormegil's work so I'll probably return to Marathon. Thanks for the help. barryzee

Hey skyzyk- Thanks for the quick reply. Yep, for example, I choose Apogee red, the desktop restarts, the folder icons on the desktop change to red but change back to the Win7 default in several seconds. Should have also mentioned that I am running Win7 32. Only seems to happen with Apogee. Other more recent Paul Boyer icons like Marathon seem to work just fine. Curiouser an curiouser. barryzee

Hey y'all- I have the Apogee icon pack from when it first came out. Have been using Marathon since I upgraded to Win7 from XP. Decided to move back to Apogee but when IconPackager applies, the icons change to the appropriate color and then change right back to the normal manila icons from Win7. Is Apogee not compatible? barryzee

Hello all- Is there a way to backup docks within the ObjectDock 2 beta? From time to time the beta will conflict with other betas that I may be trying and go awry. Recreating all my tabs from scratch is a pain in the nether regions. If not from within, in what folder are they stored? I'll copy that out to my backup drive and copy it back when necessary. Best regards, Barry

I like this a lot. Have been playing and think it was worth the wait. Only issue I have is on the dock setup screen. Need to be able to resize the window not only down but to the right as well. The links/descriptions for more options are cut off by the right side of the window. Best regards barryzee

Thanks WM2- Tried your suggestion snd the problems seemed to go away. Would rather keep the custom icons in a folder in My Pictures to they get backed up regularly but such is life. Thanks for the help. barryzee

Hi all- Using Windows 7 (32) and Objectdock Plus. The icons have started disappearing from the docks for URL's. Link remains but the icons are gone. Reset the icons for the dock entry and next day at startup some are still there & a couple icons are gone but links still remain. Any thoughts? TIA bz
