Feature Request

Disable tabbed dock icon hiding

June 22, 2011 10:42:51 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I have ObjectDock Plus 2, and am enjoying is well, though I do have one feature request.

I would like to be able to create a tabbed dock, and have the ability to disable the hiding of the icon portion of the dock.  I want the tabs AND the icons visible at all times (for one of my docks).

Thank you.

You can also try selecting 'Floating' under Position for the Tab Dock and see if that is what you want.

Thank you for the quick replies.

 

@Onklifiziert,

Unfortunately, that stetting grabs the entire edge of the screen, when my dock only occupies the top 1/3 of the edge.  I notice that there is an auto-hide checkbox option when reserve edge is enabled, but is greyed when reserve edge is disabled.  I really just want that option to be available when reserve edge is not enabled as well.

I have tried this as well, but if you do not leave a gap between the dock and the edge of the screen (a fairly good sized one on my system), the dock jumps to the screen edge anyway, and any orientation settings you put on it disappear, even if you move it back away from the edge without ever releasing the mouse  button (another frustrating 'feature' to dock placement).

willichan I don't seem to have the problem with the dock jumping to the screen edge.  I can get it very close without it changing orientation.  Does it matter what dock background you are using?

Right now I am just using the default background.  I figured I would tweek that after getting things set up the way I like them.

The jump to the edge seems to happen if I get closer than the width of the tabs (vertical orientation, so somewhere around 32px?)
