I am trying to locate my rocketdock over the windows XP taskbar. I have the taskbar stretched wider and do not have the quick launch but instead I have the rocket dock which I like better because it shows names of shortcuts etc.

 

I have the Rocketdock and the taskbar both set to "ALWAYS ON TOP"... Problem is, when I click on the taskbar, the rocket dock goes behind the taskbar and I cant access it again. If I move the rocketdock and then click on it, it will come to the front again. How can I make the rocketdock stay in fron of the taskbar at all times?

Even if you place rocketdock on top of taskbar , it will still be confusing :neutral: I think placing the taskbar and Objecdock on opposite sides of desktop (one on top and other below) will make it look and fell better for you :smile: Welcome to CrXP BTW :mdr:

No, it is not confusing at all. as i have the taskbar on the left side of the monitor, i can save a lot of space having rocketdock on top of the taskbar. see:

it would be really nice, if the developers could make a fix for it.
 
thanks.

okay. now i got it by myself. autohotkey is our friend. here is the necessary script:
 

Code :
  1. #NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
  2. SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
  3. SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
  4. Process, Exist
  5. WinGet, hw_gui, ID, ahk_class ROCKETDOCK
  6. hw_tray := DllCall( "FindWindowEx", "uint", 0, "uint", 0, "str", "Shell_TrayWnd", "uint", 0 )
  7. DllCall( "SetParent", "uint", hw_gui, "uint", hw_tray )
  8. return


 
 
have fun
