Hi there

Bought it yesterday but haven't made it work yet. I use it on my 3.2.1 RTG installation (previously used WBDock). I run it on Vampire V1200 system. I have all requirements installed (icon.library 51.4.568 & screen notify.library 1.2), I run the install script and reboot. I get a small transparent/white sort of bar with no apps at all. The settings menu is visible when hover on it and the settings there seem to work. There are no app icons at all and when dragging an app icon to the bar to add it nothing happens. Sometimes adding an app icon crashes the system. Any idea?

Hi, I do not have Vampire to test on, try Solitare match Demo just to se if that works they use almost identical RTG code.

Maybe icon.library ? png.library

Hello again

I will give solitaire a try but I know QDock works cause I use it on the 6.69 Amiga SE installation that I have. That is why I decided to buy it separately to use it on my other installations. I really doubt Vampire is the issue because everything runs perfect from Amiga OS 3.1, 3.9, 3.1.4, 3.2.1, Amikit, ClassicWB including all sort of programs and applications I use, from very demanding ones to simple ones.As far as the icon.librady I use the very latest one form PeterK 51.4.568. The one which comes with QDock is the one before that 51.4.567. Regarding png library I don't have any and I never heard of any before. Do you mean png.datatype? I just tried Solitaire and it works just fine. Very nice quality by the way

hmmm, ok. This is strange, I'm to release a new QDock tomorrow and it has a startup bug(Random) I believe is fixed now, I'm testing testing... Maybe it will fix your issue !? You have it installed in sys:system ? otherwise it will not work

Hi there

OK I will try the new version tomorrow and see what happens. Yes I do have it in sys:system . I did it manually at the beginning and didn't work so I deleted everything and decided to run the installation script which did exactly the same and still didn't work either.

UPDATE

I tried it in 2 other 3.2.1 installations and on a 3.1.4.1 and it doesn't work in any of those. Same exact behaviour in all of them. Maybe you could send me privately today the new version to try it and see if it makes any difference.

UPDATE 2

I even tried it on a 32SE light installation which I have from you and it still doesn't work

Hello again. Just tried it and we have made some progress. Now the bar and its icons are visible but half of it is hidden beyond the lowest part of the screen and the settings menu is not accessible. Also a small part of the dock has different colour to the rest of it. Please see photo.
