I've been away from Stardock land for a few years, but really wanted to get back Objectdock as it really helps clean up the desktop and adds a great "cool" factor.

Ran the free version for awhile, went ahead and got plus so I could have the multiple docs along with several of the other paid goodies.

Unfortunately, I've found the product to be extremely bug ridden, and wondering if there is any help in sight.

Here are some of the problems I'm having (hopeful that I can convey clearly)

After installing Plus, the default theme / scheme gives you one dock at the bottom where the icons grow and shrink as you mouse over them. There's a dock at the top with tabs that hides everything except the tab names until you mouse over the tab names.

Background info: This is an HP DV8000Z running Vista Home Premium. Plenty of memory, video is ATI Radeon Xpress 200M (no, not a real screamer, but mostly adequate).

1) When resuming from hibernate, dock at the top is gone. Only way to make it come back is to open up the dock configuration and select "Manage Docks". Then it reappears.
2) When resuming from hibernate, icons at on the bottom dock do not appear until I mouse over the entire dock.
3) I created a dock that has nothing on it bu the system tray. Once again, coming back from hibernate the icons don't appear until I click on the blank areas of the tray (this is a laptop and hibernate is a must for me).
4) I have the docks set to stay on top except for maximized windows, then it "hides". Only problem is it stays hidden, even after the maximized window is closed. Only way to un-hide it is to roll the mouse all the way down, make the dock pop-up, and open the dock properties.

I'm also at a loss of how to get skins/themes off Wincustomize applied to my docks. For example, how do you go about applying Minimalistic 2 to the docks? All that's inside is several images and a number of INI files. No instructions and I haven't found a lick of help in these or the Wincustomize forums.

Thanks for any help anyone can give!
