Are you referring to the fact that ObjectDock hides the taskbar?

DesktopX allows a virtual tray as an object. If the tray is of such high importance, just search "tray" in the Objects section.

Or, DesktopX allows the creation of a Start menu launcher object. This could be an alternative way to launch Stardock programs.

Last, why not just right-click the desktop? The Display Properties dialig is integrated with WinStyles aka Theme Manager and WindowBlinds.

i've never seen an icon in the system tray. and i don't see any options in the program to have one. but you can get the Objectdock Preferences and Setup to come up by simply running the program over itself. ie, run c:\objectdock.exe to start the program, then run the same exe again and the properties window pops up. then you can do any tweaking in there. i always run the properties set up this way.

you don't need desktop x or objectbar or anything extra to use it properly

by Citizen Stephen Boyce - 2/1/2004 10:33:26 AM After downloading and installing object dock...there is NO icon in the systray, therefore, I can't get to the menu to add themes. Why is the icon missing???? #2 by Citizen Stephen Boyce - 2/1/2004 12:05:36 PM No. According to the instruction for object bar, after installation there should be an icon in the systray. This icon allows a right click and a menu to add themes, etc. I do not have that icon.

As DC says, you're talking about 2 different programs....... ObjectDock, and ObjectBar..... the instructions for one, won't work for the other.
