How do you create a SYStemtray dock??

August 7, 2005 8:25:57 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
hello there first let me tell you that i searched before asking this question i also tried in OD but no luck.
i would like to know how to create a systemtray dock ( like the ones in the thread "show us your docks") NOT a separete dock on any part of the screen with all your systemtrays icons, but one actually positioned where the original SystemTray is...... is this posible???
Thanks in advance

Assuming you have Stardock Central > go to "Tools > Settings" and select "Enable MCP notification area support".

If not, "sdmcp.exe" should have been installed with the ObjectDock installation, which needs to be running to support the system tray functions.

For a non-tabbed dock:

Right-click the dock and select "Dock Settings" > click "Dock Contents" category > select "Show system tray icons on dock" (note - this will deselect the "Show running tasks on dock").

Use Dock Settings\Positioning category to position dock.

For a tabbed dock:

You can create a tabbed dock > right-click the tabbed dock > Tabs... > Add new tab > Add systray tab > use Dock Settings\Tabs & Styles category to remove any tabs not wanted (leaving only systray tab if you want).

Drag dock to the position you want and if you want to lock position - Right-click dock > View > Lock dock position.

Note - the dock in screenshot you linked looks to be a normal dock with a recycle bin only, and "Show system tray icons on dock" selected.

I hope this helps.

You should add that one to the articles Corky.
With pictures of course.

I made a system tray dock as Corky said but it doesn't have any icons in it. I don't know what to do.

Are you running ObjectDock Plus?

Did you select the option to "enable MCP notification area support" in Stardock Central?

Assuming yes to the answers above, and that you have icons showing in your normal system tray, try restarting your computer.

If that does not work, try also selecting "enable MCP SmartStartup" in Stardock Central "Tools>Settings" - then reboot computer.

If this works, you should be able to then deselect the "enable MCP SmartStartup" option and have continued system tray functions.
