Window Blinds and Object Dock

Support for large & extra large fonts

Published on June 1, 2006 By BigDogBigFeet In Object Desktop

My first request is to ask for support of large and extra large fonts in Window Blinds 5.0. I use toolbars when using Window Blinds themes and I have noticed that text on Window Blinds generated theme task bars cut-off text. For example, if I've loaded Artwork theme and selected large fonts to keep text readable in higher resolution modes, the bottom of the "p" and "y" in the word "Display" on the windows task bar will be cutoff. This does not occur when running Windows XP without Window Blinds active. This has bothered me for some time and I have discovered this only occurs when large or extra large font sizes are selected. Can this be fixed? I greatly enjoy Object Desktop and plan on continuing following its development. It is overall a good product. The second item I have is I can't get any configuration options to be recognized by Object Dock. I can only select the default docklets. I've downloaded a few docklets from Wincustomize, but Object Dock doesn't find them. Can anyone help?

Object dock free or plus?

which docklets? a link to one if you please.

I just download them to a folder, then unzip them, then move the docklet folder to:
C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Docklets

I have found out = did an advanced search for just 'docklets' == not everything labeled as a docklet is a docklet...sometimes it's just a png for docklet

I think I have the free version. I purchased Object Desktop Plus which included developer versions of DesktopX and WindowBlinds. Do I need the plus version? Should I have received the ObjectDock plus with Object Desktop plus?

Objectdock and OD+ are not part of the Object Desktop suite. It's a seperate purchase and well worth it.

I have the free version although how I found it I can't remember. In any case I searched the Store and neither the free version nor the plus purchasable version are listed. Any ideas on how to find?

Don't know what that's supposed to mean...

It's right there on the home page: https://www.stardock.com/

Ordinarily, it would mean I was unobservant, but in this case not as bad as it seems. I clicked store last night and the list of products did not include Object Dock Plus. I saw it today though hmmm...., got it I went to the Store from the WinCustomize page. Anyway today it (Stardock page) says I can get it for a 25% discount since I own Object Desktop. Except when I click the link I am not being given any discount. How do I contact the sysops? Thanks
