(DefaultCurrentTheme.ini in root folder, etc). These
are under documents and settings\user\local settings\application data\objectdockplus
-also, save settings under Documents & Settings
(e.g. documents and settings\username\local settings\application data\stardock\ObjectDockPlus)
-Tab skins with no "content buffers" nor "overlaps" no longer
get their titles cut off with ...'s
-Fixed web links not getting correct icon using some icon packager themes
-Web links dropped onto dock will get proper titles instead of blank titles
-Did some reorganization to hopefully take some of the guesswork out of
crashing due to multithreading.
-Various other fixups that could have impact on ntdll crashing bugà
-docklet list not always updating on close/reopen config dialog
-if any hooks fails to load, give informative error message
(e.g. "dll failed to load, please reinstall and reboot" plus details)
-Fixes occasion where flyout menus could crash after accessing a folder
for a second time after it had been shown in a menu which
would happen if a submenu of the flyout has too many files in it.
-Fixes problem of the desktop (or DXÆs desktop) being mistaken
for a full screen game, preventing hotspots from working while it is activated.
-ôAdd Flyout Menuö option is now always available from add menu in zoomer docks.
-ObjectDock can automatically shutdown itself when the computer is connected
into by remote desktops. (add ShutdownDockonRemoteDesktop=1 in [Settings] section
of Settings.ini)
-Not addressed: multi-monitor issues with running indicators,
WordPerfect task item getting multiple add items to dock, and more.

1.02 beta3
----------
-attempted fixes for reports of firefox causing a crash when reactivating it
-screensaver icons not getting removed should be fixed
-crashed windows don't disappear from taskbar at times, and always when grouped. This has been fixed.
-For tooltips (e.g. in tray) with newline symbols, spaces are now shown for them instead of boxes (sorry, no multiline tooltips anytime soon)
-http:// links will now get the web document icon not question mark.
-General options (e.g. label font) don't save properly if no normal dock. This has been fixed.
-Font changes don't have effect until restart of program at times. This has been fixed.
-Flyouts would not operate correctly if you had a tabbed dock and a zooming dock, then closed the zoom dock. They would, however, resume working once the program was restarted. This has been fixed, no zooming dock is needed at all anymore for flyouts to work properly.
-Memory would leak when all of the following were true simultaniously: (1) a system tray tab was present on a tabbed dock, (2) one or more icons in the tray were set to show small representations of their icons in the corner, (3) that tab is not selected and (4) those icons animated frequently
-Zooming docks showing on monitors other than the primary would have their labels show up on the primary monitor. This has been fixed, labels are now correctly positions with docks placed on other monitors.
-ObjectDock would crash when creating a new dock, or (closer to the root of the problem:) when adding a 'Start Menu' entry. This has been fixed! (This problem would have effected crashes in flyouts and other shortcuts potentially also ; this is an important fix)
-Adding TIF images to the dock could crash it under some circumstances. This has been fixed.
-Fixed potential issue with adding non-32bit icons to dock and having it crash.
-Adding an application to the dock via "Add App to Dock" menu option when right clicking windows now makes a shortcut with the full path of the program, not just filename
-Add a way to get to the about box (from the tray icon)
-A zooming dock set to not always be on top will no longer animate when the mouse is over another program, that happens to be covering a portion of the dock. Under the new behavior, it will only animate when the cursor is actually over a visible part of the dock.

7/28/04 16:38 1,355,776 ObjectDock.exe
1.02 beta2
----------
-When there are no non-tabbed docks open, flyout menus would fly out, but then not react to mouse interaction . This has been fixed.
-Control+Click (or Shift+Clicking) on a folder in a flyout menu will open that folder instead of flying it out.
-Dock Properties dialog doesn't show on the Taskbar tabs when open. Fixed, it now shows.
-Made 'slowest' setting for hotspot activation delay much longer, relabled "fast/slow" delay to "short/very long"
-Advanced option added: folder flyouts show as normal menu if number of files > 80
-Add this Application to the Dock only works on flyout docks and it does not add the app icon as the image. Fixed, now works for all.
-non-tabbed docks set to normal zordering (not always on top) would come to the top when a new application was loaded. Fixed, this does no longer happen.
-Made hotspots screen colorblind friendly. (User must set BlackAndWhiteConfig flag in [Accessibility] section of settings.ini to = 1)
-added option for drawers (tabbed docks docked to edge) to not always have their tabs on top
-Tabbed dock labels show even when covered by another program and you mouseover a spot where an item would be if not covered. Fixed, this no longer happens.
-GDI Handles would leak after using Choose Image dialog. This has been fixed.
-When two tabbed docks are present, autohiding/showing them both at the same time can result in one of their animations locking and not hiding/unhiding again until restarting OD+. This has been fixed!
-If alt-tabbing during resizing the dock, the dock could get stuck in resizing if you move to another program then release the mouse button. This has been fixed.
-Resize cursor could get stuck temporarilly when moving quickly between two different tabbed docks. Fixed.
-Microsoft WordXP would freeze on shutdown until ObjectDock is closed when launched from a link to a word document in the dock. This has been determined to be resulting from a bug in Windows' ShellExecuteEx function, and has been effectivly worked around by removing running indicators on documents executed from the dock.
-Fixed issue of some users with only PowerUser windows user accounts not being able to run OD+, getting a message about needing to install properly.
-When moving a tabbed dock, upon picking it up to move it it would shift over a few pixels right from the start. Fixed.
-Added ability to have a System Tray on a non-tabbed dock! (You can choose between either having a taskbar or a tray on each non-tabbed dock)
-Tweaks for users with serial problems under limited or power user accounts.
