Bugs: 15.* Link to "This PC": When setting a link to "This PC" (formerly "Workplace") on the dock, this link does not work after several occassions on Windows 8 and up. First, after reinstalling Windows, even with the same versions and without changing anything. This especially happens when a newer version of Windows is installed (for example Windows 8 to 8.1 and now "Update") and lately it even happened after several Windows updates or even without anything. Some

Bugs: 14.* Label fonts: When changing the settings for the font used on the labels of a tabbed dock, this does nothing. Even affter restarting the whole dock. This might be a settings problem of some kind, but i tried nearly everything to fix this to no result. Added in the first posting.

@Island Dog, i made a ticket to that special image problem already. I posted all four images on this page in the same way and just the fourth was shown as code instead of image even the forum software generated correct HTML code as the HTML viewer showed me. EDIT: I fixed it by just resaving the image. Maybe it got corrupted while saving or when the JPG image compression kicked in. These problems i document here were mailed to support several times wit

Bugs: 02. Wrong double marking (Addendum): Just had the chance to make screenshots of this very strange bug again and will describe its appearance. However, it is the same example as above; dragging links from my browser. I had Firefox open maximized (fullscreen) on my second monitor. I dragged the adress bar icon of the website i was visinting to my desktop shown on my first screen wich resulted in this: <img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4Q5RRXhpZg

Bugs: 03. Tray icons (Addendum): I found out by chance that at least the cFosSpeed tray icons context menu works now. Since they brought out a new version and OD stayed the same version it seems this one is not an OD bug. All other tray icon problems however stayed the same why i keep this point still up.

Thanks, BlueLightAlarm, anyway. It is good that someone can confirm this since i believe support was not believing me at all. This thing happens more often than someone might think. The link dragging was just an easier to reproduce example. I have deleted stuff from my desktop unwanted when i dragged things to the trash through this bug! This is a major problem, it just is hard to understand and to test ...

Bugs: 13.* Hide Windows taskbar: This option often does not work correctly. From Windows 7 on, it sometimes is normally shown together with the dock even when set on an freshly booted machine. Extremly annoying when the dock also sits at the bottom of the screen where the taskbar normally is. Also, way more often, the taskbar is shown only as a line (hidden) and dissappears completely only when hoevered. If it is not hovered, it stays. In rare cases, the whole sys

Hey M4he, it's not a question if i agree, if someone has a suggestion than that is fine enough! I will collect know every report in the first posting as long as the forum allows that by its length. Thanks for your contribution!

Just a moment ago i had the chance to see bug number 02 again and completely document it (of course, after it happened). Please see the two screenshots below wich explain it maybe better than just words could do. <img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4Q6NRXhpZgAATU0AKgAAAAgABwESAAMAAAABAAEAAAEaAAUAAAABAAAAYgEbAAUAAAABAAAAagEoAAMAAAABAAIAAAExAAIAAAAdAAAAcgEyAAIAAAAUAAAAj4dpAAQAAAABAAAApAAAANAACvyAAAAnEAAK/IAAACcQQWRvYmUgUGhvdG9zaG9wIENDIChXaW5kb3dzKQAyMDE0OjA1OjIxIDE5OjAyOjE1AAAAA6ABAAM

Addition to number 02: This can be rarely fixed when clicking somewhere else on an empty space on the desktop and so deselecting the selected/marked item. One even can see it flicker a moment when it gets deselected instead of selecting another one and dragging them together in error.

Here are two "exotic" (and sporadic) bugs that the support could not reproduce in several attempts. Since those occur over several versions of Fences (even v1), several new installations on several systems and even Windows re-installations, it is nearly sure that they are problems of Fences itself. Maybe someone has the time to test them out and bring the missing link to reproduce them or even a solution. Bugs: 01. Hide link arrows: There is the function in Fe

Bugs: 11.* Window sorting: I am not completely sure if this is caused by the dock or Windows itself, but since it works in all other applications by now, i guess it is the dock itself. This went worse since Windows 8 (and went more worse on 8.1/"Update"): when using a dock as taskbar replacement, one needs it to sort Windows and their front/back status. But every now and then it fails at this, resulting in the maximized application in front not allowing to bring t

Hey bodadog! =) Maybe that is what many other users think also? I don't know. However, as for my personal understanding, in this modern days bugs get reported and solved and the story ends there. But in this case it is something special as you can read in the other thread by c242 i linked to at the beginning of my first posting. Surely there are major and minor problems, but when you take all this minor problems and look at them together, doesn't that make it a major o

Bugs: 09.* Collapsing Start Menu: The Start Menu, wether used by a ObjectDock docklet or Start8 over ObjectDock often collapses in several cases before one can click the wanted entry. Most often this happens when trying to shut down or restart by hovering the bottom of the screen with the mouse (in my case) to bring ObjectDock to the foreground (because hidden), clicking the Start Menu docklet (wich open Start8 in my case) and selecting the arrow beside the "Shut

[quote who="DaveBax" reply="1" id="3465072"]I would be interested to know who else has this problem. I open my SM from OD often. It opens exactly the same way and position I may have it set at. Have it mostly set at the bottom left as you stated and doesn't matter if I open it from a top or bottom dock it opens on the bottom left. For the 7 years I have been here it has always open correctly.[/quote] Support guys told me that it was a "requested feature" that the start menu does n

As promised in another thread ( https://forums.stardock.com/452133 ), here is my personal list of bugs – as far as i remember it since this spans over several years of unfixed issues and it is most likely NOT complete yet; i will add stuff when i remember or experience some more (one gets used to bugs standing for all this time so i have to see what still is there). Back then i thought it is enough to rep

[QUOTE]Conclusion: If Stardock thinks some programs simply are not worth to be continued, so be it. But please be honest and say so. But as for now, I am still waiting for the answer to my original question.[/QUOTE] This exactly is the point. There is no need to "defend" Stardock as no one meant to harm them. And they do great work on most of the other products (i use). And no one has a problem with a little sarcasm where it fits, don't you? :-D <

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="38" id="3462188"] ObjectDock holds a special place in my Stardock customer history. My first exposure to Stardock software was the free version of ObjectDock. It drew me into the trial and purchase of WindowBlinds. From there I was hooked so the logical thing to do was purchase Object Desktop, I went to the paid version of ObjectDock 1.9 (and eventually v.2.0) I'm a regular subscriber to ODNT now.
