All you need to do is click on the corner of it and drag it there!

Sorry didn't see the part about doing it with ObjectBar. Someone that uses it will come along with the answer!

I believe that's not object bar in the shot - it's the taskbar - drag your windows taskbar up there

Right click on your task bar and make sure its " unlocked " first - then grab it with your cursor - holding down the left side of mouse then drag the taskbar up the side first - then to the top - then let go of left side of mouse...right click on task bar again - select " lock " task bar.

You are draggin it from edge, that makes it bigger, click on taskbar and drag to top of screen.

Yes i Finaly did it thanks alot!!!


You know - the reason I wrote out the directions for this was because i'll never forget when I bought the computer for my " boys " and i was using it while they were in school....I accidently pulled the task bar to the side of the screen. I had no idea what I had done - I spent hours trying to fix it until I was just about in tears. I didnt want my oldest son coming home to a " broken " computer. He walked in after school and saw my pitiful dilemma and laughed at me. Pulled the taskbar back to bottom and locked it in so it wouldnt accidently get pulled up again.

Needless to say - that was my first lesson on lock/unlocking the task bar.

I've had students, fairy, that unplugged their desktops and brought them to me to repair...and all that was wrong was the taskbar was resized halfway up the screen or stuck to the right edge or top....started including a "locking the taskbar and toolbars" session in my fundamentals class!

Funny how something that 'seems' so easy can be so confusing to explain.

I have a question why does my local area connection (internet) is disappearing every some minutes??? Its not even in the task bar.

This happened when i installed objectbar and installed a mac skin and accidentally close it and got it back running but when i change it to deffult again the internet connection icon disappeared in some minutes. I don't know why this is happening.

right click the icon you want to change - dock properties - change image - browse to the one you want

got no idea on tabs check out Corky O's page - Dream Under Construction Site - some good Dock Tutorials there.

One more thing i found some icons in object bar and do i have to put my downloaded icons in the objecdock folder? If i have to put it in the folder where is that located?
Also some formats are different some are .ico files and some are png files. Im so confused!

I'll try to help a little. The files called ico are used by Icon Packager although Windows and some other Stardock programs can use them also. These usually come in theme sized files that you download. Icon files used by Icon Packager as themes change all or most of the icons used by Windows. The icons displayed on your taskbar (that's the bar you were given help with moving to the top of the screen) are there for launching programs and don't have to be moved anywhere. So when you say you found some icons in object bar, I'm not sure what you mean. Did you download some files from Stardock from the object bar section and now you want to know what to do with them? I'm assuming that's your question. In any case png files aren't really icons, a png file is a graphcal format for storing data and can be any size. But if the png file is a graphical image made to look like an icon there are programs here at Stardock that will use them. Both ObjectDock and DesktopX can use png files. Sounds like you need some time to read the tutorial files around here. Maybe Corky or some others can give you some links to some of these tutorials that will help also.
