as i posted in my thread on this matter, the new beta of OD fixes the problem...Oslo works no prob. If you have OD Plus, you can install Impulse and click on the orb in upper left to open the preferences...check show pre-release versions and then you can download the beta. Cheers, - Jeff

whaddya know? the beta version doesn't have the problem...just that it defaulted to stuttgart, arizona first =P ... but now I get stuttgart germany no problems... and just for the other guys I checked both Oslo, Norway and Canberra, Australia...all working no problems with the beta.
Weeelll...there is a way to script the Windows+M ... a variation of the Start...Run solution I posted in my own thread: Create a Visual Basic Script MinimizeAll.vbs: [code="vbscript"] dim objShell set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") objShell.MinimizeAll set objShell = nothing [/code] Put it somewhere inobtrusive and link an OD icon to it...voila =)

build number is 535u. According to Impulse the installed version number is 1.90.033 last updated 08/05/2008. Impulse says that I am up to date on my ObjectDock software...should i see a special option for an alpha download?
ohhh one i can sort of answer =) so if I am not mistaken, the stripes between appgroups depends solely on the background you choose for your object dock...some have stripes on the separators and some don't. As far as drive C vs drive K...I played around with this on sysmetrics as well...someone could probably explain it a lot better...but I copied my macro/script that was showing the C: drive and modified it everywhere I found a reference to C:\ and replaced it with the correc

hmm... well i have the plus version...and I did deinstall the free before installing the plus...installed several times in fact. my plus version doesn't give choices =( sorry...thought u may have meant the website because it does give me several choices...maybe that is where is it getting screwed up?!? I don't get the choices and it can't resolve without me picking one of the choices...any more ideas on what to do there? and if my pc was blocking a connection for
god i put way too many smilys in that last post...sorry lol
yes yes yes cplair =) I knew that was coming =) ... but i really want an OD solution!!! I am working with a Lenovo (IBM) laptop that has no windows key...and often with a IBM AIX Keyboard that also has no Win-Key... Funny is that the shortcut answer popped up in all of the other forums i found where people wanted exactly the same thing =)...plus if we all just wanted shortcuts without optic we wouldn't need OD [e digicons]XD[/e]
yeah i stumbled across that... didn't like the feature-set that much [e digicons]O:)[/e] it runs its own 'Run' box and not the windows one...which i guess isn't so bad...but I didn't need all that other stuff. I figured out one solution by creating a VB-Script: FileRun.vbs [code="vbscript"] dim objShell set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") objShell.FileRun set objShell = nothing [/code] Put that file in "My Docum
Hi all... simple question I hope. Am thinking that OD Plus is so cool that I can do away with that pesky windows taskbar...one thing I would love to see on my objectdock though. I use the Start Menu option "Run..." a lot and can't figure out how to create an object dock shortcut for it. Well I did find one solution but didn't really like it. I can ctrl-click the run command and drag a shortcut to the desktop...then drag that shortcut to objectdock effectively cre

hi again...yeah I think what zubaz is referring to is the accuweather.com website ... in any case the weather objectdock docklet does not provide you a choice...it just says feed not available. Strange is I noticed when I was playing around with MyColors skins last night that they also have standalone weather applets that work with AccuWeather.com and there I can put in Stuttgart, Germany without a problem. I think it is specifically this ObjectDock weather applet that has a pro
okay...so here is the thing...first rule...help yourself =) First I deinstalled both MyColors, WB6, and TweakVI. Then I reinstalled only WB6. I ran msconfig...deactivated all non-windows services and startup programs except for WB6. To be on the safe side I then downloaded two WB themes (not the pirates one from MyColors )....to be extra safe I downloaded 'ZuBaZ's personal theme =) and Organic...both looked cool and green! Rebooted and it 'seems' that thing
final pic for now =) system info...note my system is german version of windows (not that it should matter =) but if you are wondering why some text is in german...
here as you can see the check boxes next to the individual settings disappear
okay it wasn't exactly self explanatory but figured it out with file:// url.. =) just a sec and I will put others up...this is the pirate theme from mycolors...but loaded from windowblinds...like i said though I get the same effect with other true wb-themes
like i said...I would love to provide an image...but I can not seem to upload images here...just links to images...and since I don't have anywhere to serve them from not sure how I should go about it =(
updated my video drivers today just to be sure...nvidia 64-bit vista drivers...wish I could upload a pic here...would help to illustrate...seem to be only able to link to pics

Hello just installed WindowBlinds 6 on my Vista 64-bit installation...unfortuantely having nothing but problems with it. As soon as I apply a them I start losing windows elements (ie. Checkboxes, etc.) ... even within the WindowsBlinds software. For example, I installed the Pirates Theme from MyColors and then opened up the customization window for Desktop icons... All buttons (Ok, Cancel, Apply) had the text "Change Icon"... the checkboxes for "My Computer", "Network"

anyone from stardock have a suggestion about this? I expect that the weather docklet may be making some mistakes passing the city names on to accuweather...but who knows?!? Like Triplejolt wrote...pretty useless right now.
like he mentioned above...and same for me...object dock 1.9 build 535u. I have deinstalled free version (it didn't work either) and installed the Plus version. Locations...well I have another thread going about that...my location in Stuttgart, Germany does not get a feed even though it is available on AccuWeather.com.
I was wondering about that too =) "Tomorrow" and "Friday" (should be same) but with different weather reports...
Hello...just bought OD plus and would like to second hrairoorah's motion. Also, the first thing I tried was creating an 'Internet' flyout and putting by browsers in there...at first I only had IE and Firefox...the icons are pretty tiny and the speed on the left/right arrows is pretty fast...if you slip a lil bit left or right it starts scrolling way too fast. Maybe following options as request for enhancement... scroll speed on flyout menus adjust icon siz
