Hi Dave,

Hrm. Which part is slow? The animation / fanning out? Or is there just a long delay before you see anything at all? Also, if the animation, is it slow too when scrolling through the items left/right, or is it just the flyout animation itself?

Thanks,

Ah, the fanning is slow even in the weather docklet? Which OS are you using, XP or Vista? And what kind of video card? You may want to head out and try the latest drivers if you haven't updated in a while

Arggg, Stardock replied and I accidentally deleted it. I did what they wanted which was delete the profile under Documents and setting but to no avail. I actually was looking for a (sick) excuse to format and re-install. Flyouts still slow. They don't pop. It taes about 4 secs for it to open.

Seriously slow here as well on XP Pro SP2 with Radeon 9600xt 256mb, 1GB RAM, AMD AthlonXP 2400+.

Not sure if it was a video card thing or what, but I figured it out. Something ridiculous too... when they flyout was going out I would, in effort to keep the flyout icons on top, tell windows to keep them on top. Turns out when that piece of code, new to v1.9, was enabled... well, slowness ensued. Unfortunatly this did fix a problem where in instances flyouts could show up underneath some other things like a taskbar, etc, so I'm not sure if that will ever crop up again, but in my testing I didn't see it.

Long story short, Status: FIXED!

ok this is what you do, bear in mind this is editing the registry so follow these directions very carefully. go to start,run and type REGEDIT and hit ok.when the registry opens up click HKEY_CURRENT_USER then click CONTROL PANEL you will see a folder called "desktop" click on the desktop folder you will see a huge lists of commands on your right side of the registry, find where it says "menushowdelay" the default is 400 you may put this to a lower number such as 25 do not go any where below 1 other wise your system will lock up when you do something like right click and you get the menu that shows up.put it at a number such as 100 after doing this close the registry and reboot your system.your context menu's should now show up alot faster.if you want it back to normal or you run into any problems then set the number to it's default which is 400.

I'm sorry, none of that made much sense. Are you telling me the problem was fixed through an update on central? or just by changing the 'always on top' setting? or by actually editing the source code for object dock, or by changing windows menu delay settings?

Download tweakui powertoy from microsoft once installed click on MOUSE ,there is a slider for adjusting the menu speed without stuffing around in the registry,plus a few other usefull tweaks that may come in handy,the menu speed adjustment will affect all menu's i've set it on 1.5 bar any less and i'll have trouble being quick enough to right clik lmao

it shouldn't, unless OD works as a mouse menu type or something weird. but that doesn't seem like Stardocks programming style. I could be wrong though...
