[SOLVED] How do I reposition the launchers on ObjectDock plus

By Les Hazelton Posted May 19, 2008 00:14:37

I have searched the forums with no luck so far. I have started using ObjectDock Plus and Like it, but I have a problem getting the launchers positioned where I want them.

I have tried to left-click the icon and hold it while draging it to the left or right but that does not work for me. could someone tell me if what I am attempting should work. If not, could you tell me how to adjust the placement of the various icons so I can get the groupings I want?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[SLOVED] Thanks to cagedty who pointed out that having my mouse switched to left-handed could cause the problem.

I switched the mouse back to the default and was able to modifu the icon/launcher position as desired. Then, returned to the, for me, more comfortable left-handed position.

do you have 'lock dragging' turned on

right click on the dock and check the menu options

No, sorry, I should have said in the first post.

The way it responded when I first tried caused me to go looking for such an option. I tried it with the option checked and un-checked. I get the same reaction either way.

The icon I am attempting to move starts to move and then hits the edge of the adjacent icon and drops back to it's original location.

Thanks for the pointer. I went there and tried all the items listed - no joy. The original poster didn't get a resolution either.

Believe it or not, I really did search for this but must have missed that thread. Sorry for the duplication.

I will continue over there to eliminate any more duplication.

np,I just hang out here a lot and remembered that one. I use and love Objectdock. Often,a fix is found but never shows up in the forums.Good Luck to you.

Are you using a left handed mouse? If so switch it back to right handed to drag the buttons. I came here looking to see if icons could be dragged at all then it came to me...

Works only with a right handed mouse.

cagety:

Many thanks. You were correct. I was using a left-handed mouse. When I switched it back I was able to position the icons/launchers exactly where I wanted them. What a strange problem.

Again, my appreciation for the help.

What a simple solution that was. I like seeing [solved] on the post,others can now refer to it if they have this problem. Stardock may have a way to fix this in a future update,save you "lefties" a headache.

When your mouse is lefty-configured, are you unable to use the right mouse button to reposition the icons? (Seeing as how the button functions would swap when you change from a right-handed to left-handed mouse).

I would think this is the intended result -- left clicking on an icon (when your system is configured to provide a lefty mouse) will bring up the properties context menu for that icon.

are you unable to use the right mouse button to reposition the icons?

I'm not sure about other mice but I just tried it with a Logitech LX5,works fine milksama.Just backwards(to me)
