How to get 'fly out' from stack docklet to go down intsead of up in Tabbed Dock at top of screen

I have recently bought ObjectDock2 Plus and am keen to have a tabbed dock at the top of screen with icons from Stack Docklet added. However the 'fly out' of icons always go to the top and disapear. Is there a fix or method to enable these to go down instead of up?

I can use this n the quick start dock but not the tabbed one.

I see this topic has been thrashed out on numerous forums over the years with no satisfactory conclusion. By now I thought the issue would have been solved.

Any ideas/links etc Also could someone guide me to the very latest Statck Dock for ObjectDock.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure the position of the docklet icon is set to top.

Zubaz,

How do I do this?

I tried

right click on Icon>Edit this Icon...however no place to set on top.

right click on Icon>Position relates to the Tabbed Dock position

right click on Icon>Settings gets me to the Tabbed Dock settings. No place here to set docklet icon?

Thanks for getting back to me but I still stumped!

I use the SD Flyout docklet so I'm not sure. Google may assist.

Mine doesn't have a place to tell it. I've got about twenty links in mine so perhaps it is a difference. I have also in the past used this one: http://www.matiasmoreno.com.ar/en/Stacks Docklet 2.0 but it makes a stack like a snake, not a circle one. For the real adventurous, there is one that is independent of OD, it runs as a widget on your desktop, again a snake stack. It is called StandAlone Stack http://www.chrisnsoft.com/standalonestack

Make sure it is at the edge of the screen, about an inch (25mm) perhaps a little further. Just to make sure we are speaking the same "top" of the screen. It reverses as soon as you are further.

Thanks for all your adivice. I seem to have now found StackedDocks adequate for my need now in the dafault package!

BTW: Am worried re: extra CPU strain using all this. Have had a number of "blue screens of death" and CPU overheat warnings since using ObjectDoc & Fences. Any ideas on this? (Win7 64, i7CPU)

Have put this in as new post.

I think sometimes the older the machine and less memory it has the more prone all this fanciness is to that type of failure. I am also of a firm believe that some icons are just plain broke. There are ones that are not formatted correctly and they cause problems. A cure for that is to save the icon in another format (like jpg to png to gif) and then save it back to original and see if the file size changed. Some graphics programs save everything when exporting to a simple graphic instead of just what is visible.
