As i am using linux at the moment I cannot look thru the setting to help you. I assure you it works though.


Are you using XP or Vista?

vista sir, yeah im not sure, objectdock works fine when i minimise things.. i guess ill just use that instead..

lol only thing with object dock is even tho its ticked to load on start up it doesnt haha maybe im just a tard..

LOL nah, give ya self a break. it took me a couple of days to get both of the programs down do i knew what i was doin. Just keep playing around. Maybe you could try the official forums, I meant this guide only as a brief beginner thing for the wet noobs lol

just so u know, object dock is a few years old, so it may not work with vista properly,

[donzgod]

oh true, i just googled for some help and this came up, which was pretty helpful and i love checking out other peoples themes and setups

object docks going sweet sept not loading at startup which is weird, maybe ill just make a bat file or something but yeah ill check the official forums too, thanks for the time and help anyways sir

Ok first off, how can I make more "docks"? I have one that came with the program, but I need more.

Secondly, I need a bar that will show me all my minimized windows, is that possible, because I got rid of that atrocious Windows bar at the bottom.

And I REALLY like that performance bar you have on your desktop! I want that but I have no idea how to even start!

1. Install Objectdock Plus - the link in in the thread
2. Objectdock has the ability to remove the taskbar and act as a replacement taskbar - these can slide in and out of view as well
3. Install Sysmetrix then go to wincustomize.com to DL some skins you like

Try reading the thread again, i think youve missed some things

Well, I've spent all night with this, but I think I have done it!!!

I'm pretty happy!

Not so sure about the big APPLE in the middle there but hey, whatever ur into

My theory on APPLE is that they are worse than MicroSoft for being monopolising *******s.

But the margin is minimal.

I still favour Microsoft over Apple ANYDAY. But i'd prefer any other company than either of them.
