Hi

First of all, I'd like to congratulate the creators of Brickopacks for their excellent work!

Now my problem-

- When I press the 'Show Desktop' button from QuickLaunch the rocket dock dissappears. I tried the 'show on mouseover' thingy so that even if the dock dissappears (after pressing show desktop button) I can get it back just by scrolling my mouse to the top. But it is annoying as when any window is open and I take the cursor to the top of the screen, the dock appears on top of the window!

I went through various topics in the forum but couldn't find any on the above, I am sorry if it has been repeated.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. I had the same problem with 'show desktop', it looks like rocketdock will get minimized.

Try this ..

download attached file and unrar
place the show desktop file in your windows directory
make a shortcut to the file on your desktop
drag the shortcut into your taskbar
use the new shortcut in your taskbar to show desktop and Rocketdock should still be available

Worked for me anyway

Good luck

the same happens with windows vista's sidebar (in windows vista) ... so ... i guess is a "design feature" of windows to clean everything when the show desktop shortcut is utilized.

yo darkstone.. tnx for ur fix dude!! worked for me alot.. tnx..!!!!

Hello!
One more question concerning show desktop and rocketdock issue. Is it possible to modify somehow settings for the combination: Winkey +D to obtain the same result as with using the trick with this file attached above?
Positive answer would give me a 100% satisfaction with using RD  

Greetz!

Maybe you can use WIN + M instead
Or, you could assign a custom hotkey, like CTRL + ALT + D by rightclicking on the file, select Properties, and there is a textbox to assign a hotkey.

THX!! Satisfaction = 99%  

No problem
Enjoy your stay in CrXP!

hmm i like the shortcut (rar)

but i need to figure out how to change the shortcut "windows key+d to windows+m"

if you have figured it out first, can you email me at chisg_021@yahoo.com

that would be a great help..thnx =) CXP

You can't change WIN + D to WIN + M. They are seperate shortcuts..
WIN+D = show desktop
WIN+M = minimize all windows

hey, i don't find any attached file here, so how can I download the fix?

Hi to all!
 
I recently had to reformat my PC (which previously ran bricopack with no problems.
 
My problem now is that Rocket Dock no longer appears. At all!
 
Things I have tried:
 
Making sure it is activated in the configuration settings
Uninstall/reinstall
Uninstall/reinstall in safe mode
Trying different types of install eg 'classic', full, custom
 
Despite all this, I still cannot get it to appear.    
 
Any ideas??
 
Win XP SP2

Well sophiar, when you're installing the bricopack, what was the type of installation you choosed? or did you select to install the rocket dock?
Did you try to run the application from its installed location?

 
As I stated in my post, I tried several different types of install.. classic/full/custom .. none of which made the RD appear. Yes, on each install I selected RD to be installed.  When I check the config, it says it is ON.
Yes, I have tried running the app from its installed location. If I try to run the RD module.. nothing happens.
If I click it or right click and select open.. nothing happens. It is not listed in Task Manager either.

 
You can try downloading Rocket Dock & installing it
When installing, try to give the previous path and see whether it works or yo can do a clean install

Hi Neil
 
Thanks for the reply.
 
I tried downloading and installing RD from the link you gave, still no RD appears.
 
I have tried installing so many times now. Clean/existing/updating and any other way I can think of. However, nothing seems to work. All the other parts of the bricopack work (uber/transbar etc), it's only RD that never appears.
 
It must actually be running though because when I tried to install it from the link you gave, it said it detected another RD running. So... it's actually running, but its entirely invisible. Nothing I do makes it appear. This is most frustrating!!

Hmm That's odd
Did you try installing RD to C> Program files
 
And I forgot to mention you to quit RD before installing the new version,
You cn do it from the bricopack config & you can see RD or its running .exe in task manager to quit it

Yes, I installed RD to C/program Files ( I have tried 4 times now) and STILL it is not visible.
 
Task Manager says it is running (but only using 84k) BUT it is not visible.
 
 
Whats next?  

Well, Sophiar, I'm also confused with what you've got. I'll see deep in to it a little later, (I'm in the middle of my homework )
In the mean time you can try using the online help for RD Previously there was a forum there but I see it's not there now  Hope you luck and keep us posted

what i'm seeking is the attachment mentioned in the following post. i guess it should be a script just likes the one 'display desktop' button references.  
 

 
i don't wanna set RocketDock always on top, it annoys sometimes, but i do wanna RocketDock remains when i press win+d.  
 
according to above posts, there is no perfect solution for my situation. an alteration way is i use 'display desktop' button instead of win+d, meanwhile, i must use the attachment mentioned above to modify the default 'display desktop' action. am i right?

Bot   Maybe the link or the attachment have been removed by the user or the forum Admins
You can contact the user via a PM and get the attachment
