Feature Request: Tray Icons -AND- Active Windows? Please?

Hi all, love this program, but when I upgraded I thought I would get the option to have Tray Icons -and- active windows on my dock, is this a possibility for future releases? I really need both, and figured since active windows were in the free app, that getting the tray icons too would not mean I'd have to choose. Please advise. Thanks!

p.s. here's a shot of my Asus Eee 1000H impersonating a Mac, thanks to ObjectDock:

... and a shot of the desktop, way minimalist, I know...

I run two docks side by side. One for runnign apps and one for systray.

I also have a seperate tabbed dock and one of my tabs is systray.

Zubaz, how do you get a systray on a tabbed dock? When I create a new tabbed dock and go to Dock Contents, all I see is the option to group taskbar items!

Hi Zubaz,

I would also like to know how you got the systray icons on the tabbed dock. For that matter I'd like to know how you have two running next to each other to accomplish this (either solution is fine with me, though the tabbed dock on the same ObjectDock instance is preferable).

I also purchased this software with the expectation this would work but was sadly disappointed. I really wanted to get rid of my windows task bar once and for all!

Thanks,

Chris

Right click on an existing tab

Right click on an existing tab
Select "Dock Settings"
Select "My Docks"
Select "Create New Tabbed dock"
Follow the steps above to add the systray dock
Remove all the other tabs.

Thanks Zubaz! That's exactly what I needed...

For what it would cost in system resources to run a single dock with both options present it takes out the viability of the primary function of the bar to begin with. Said simply: having both, just dosen't work.

As many users might say I too use two docks. I have one small one sized down around the systray icons at the top of my screen. At the bottom of my screen I have the full dock with previews and running windows. It works very well for me and costs my system very little to run. As an art junkie I'm very paticular about my system resources as well.
