A blog about working on a luxury diving yacht in Fiji
i liked the free version of OD 1.9, and like the way it retained live screenshots of the open programs...i bought the pro version, and now i seem to have lost the live preview, except when the program is minimised. i have uninstalled/reinstalled...

this is a screenshot of my options in OD 1.9..i think, in the free version, is had a bunch of stuff about live previews, and now that's missing...



any ideas?

i still cannot get live thumbnails to work with my vista system for non-minimised windows..

this is taken from the Object Dock Wesbite

" In Vista, all minimized windows will show up as a live mini-thumbnail in the ObjectDock taskbar! Optionally you can have all windows, minimized or not, show up as thumbnails. Note: this feature is only available for zooming docks, it does not support tabbed docks."

does anyone have any ideas how i can get object dock to show live thumbnails for non-minimised windows?

thanks

I just noticed that I got the same settings for my dock and I also only get a preview for the minimized windows.

A friend had downloaded the free version of ObjectDock on his vista laptop, and this is his screenshot of his Dock Contents tab :



as can be clearly seen there is an option to always show windows as thumbnails...

this does not appear on my options, either with the free or the paid for version. and yes, as stated before, i am running vista too.

i have raised this with support..this is their answer

Hi,

No the vista thumbnails are not currently part of ObjectDock. However I will forward this to our developers as a feature request. Thank you for your input!

Cheers,

i pointed out, as in the post above, the following from the ObjectDock website :

* In Vista, all minimized windows will show up as a live mini-thumbnail in the ObjectDock taskbar! Optionally you can have all windows, minimized or not, show up as thumbnails. Note: this feature is only
* available for zooming docks, it does not support tabbed docks.
