Object Dock Plus - How to move icons around on dock or remove?

Published on September 7, 2004 By TigerMan In WinCustomize Talk

After upgrading to OD Plus I can no longer drag the icons arround on the dock to re-position! I also cannot drag them off the dock to remove!!
Also on the new Tabbed dock how do you get to the properties of the system tray tabbed dock icons so you can change the image (I've been told you just hover or L.click and hold for a while and they pop up but not on mine!!!

Any help otherwise it's worse than the std Object Dock

Right click your zoomer dock and uncheck the option "Lock Dragging". That should allow you to move and remove icons. This shouldn't be a problem with tabbed docks as they don't have this lock option. Things should just be able to move all over and pop right off.

As far as a changing the system tray icons I don't have any advice. I just left click and hold on the icon for a second or two and the dock item properties pops right up. No problems. My only recommendation is to uninstall, clean out the directory completely (move any icons, backgrounds or themes first so you can restore them later), reboot and do a completely clean install. That has fixed more than one problem for me with OD+. Best of luck.

OD+ works much like the standard OD. On zoomer docks you can "Lock Dragging" by right clicking an area between the icons. This would prevent you from moving the icons, and dragging them off the dock. The tabbed docks don't have this ability yet. The systray icons can be changed by left click and hold for a couple of seconds. If this isn't working, you may need a reboot, or maybe even a reinstall.

Thanks,
Removed 'Lock Dragging' and that cured Zoomer Dock. Have not fixed tabbed dock issue. Tried unistalling, deleting dir and rebooting, reinstaled and ran clean dock but still cannot get tabbed tray properties of an icon?
Any other suggestions?
