YzDock crash when changing icon

[Lotuzz]

When i try to change an icon on my YzDock it always crashes. This started to happen after i installed StyleXP.

So, i unistalled it again and rebooted. No difference, still crashing.

I tried AquaDock, same result.

Anyone got a sollution for this?

stylexp causes problems with y'z dock.

and aqua-dock is a rip of y'z dock.

Thanx!!

Just a suggestion, give ObjectDock from Stardock a try.

http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/

The free version is every bit as good as Yz'Dock in my humble opinion and (at least on my machine) it's a lot more stable!

Hmm, cant fix the bug......Im trying OD now ;)

[dreamz Veteran]

or uninstall stylexp and use the patch. ;)

[Lotuzz]

I do use the patch. I just installed StyleXP because Stylebuilder needs it.

Im using ObjecktDock now, and so far its working ok.

[dreamz Veteran]

you don't need stylexp to use stylebuilder. if you have the patch, it works. believe me, that's what i do.

i think this a problem with SP2.

[Dazzla Veteran]

I use Yz Dock with Sp2 and it's fine. I also use stylebuilder without styleXP and it's fine.

The Y'z Dock icon changing problem has always been there.

[Dazzla Veteran]

Always been there? It's never crashed on me, what "Icon changing problem" are you talking about?

[RadishTM Veteran]

Same here, never crashed ever for me when changing an icon.

Radish?

I thought it was against the rules to talk about YzDock here? :wacko:

edit: might just be posting links to it... Anyway, I didnt think people used it anymore, it seemed to die out after a while :/

[stefanka]

I have this problem after installing SP2. Try to change a png in your y'z dock dazzla.

[A.K.R.]

Dazzla, Radish?b>, it crashes when you try to use an icon outside of it's icons folder. Strangely, I am now unable to reproduce the problem...

[Dazzla Veteran]

Works fine here :blink:

[stefanka]

Hmm... My crashed if i pressed the button "change icon" :cry:

yea thas what i thought, sticky said neowin doesnt support the program at all

[dreamz Veteran]

never crashed on me either. works perfectly fine. :)

[javagreen]

Objectdock has issues with power tweaking. Look at my thread here : https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=212080&hl=

Sadly, it has no replies though :|

[A.K.R.]

It did crash on me when I started using it. But since then, it never crashed :| . And the crashing were all related to icon changing problems.

so does anybody know how to fix it besides uninstalling style xp becuase i dont have stylexp on my computer and it still crashes..

[FusionGuy]

Hmm...  My crashed if i pressed the button "change icon" :cry:

So does mine. I don't think it has to do with the icons being the wrong folder.

I have uninstalled StyleXP and used the uxtheme.dll patcher but Y'z dock still crashes when I try to change an icon. Even when I click the middle button on my mouse to open a folder as a menu it crashes.

I have found out one way. You need to edit the listitem.ini file for every icon you wish to change. Just rename the icon in the listitem.ini file and replace the 1 with 0 (zero) for the long number. Anyone know what this number does?

It works fine on my other computer and it has StyeXP installed. Go figure. :wacko:

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I've found a solution that solved the y'z dock crashing problem when changing a dock icon.

I did a google search and found a utility called CandyXP that allows you to customize your icons. In the changelog it said 'fixed bug that caused yzdock to crash.'

I discovered after doing research that the yzdock crash issue has something to do with StyleXP taking over managing your icons.

I've uninstalled StyleXP and now am using the Neowin Multi-patcher. I rebooted, downloaded and ran CandyXP. I clicked the restore default icon button, then apply icon settings button, and now, miraculously, yzdock works just fine.

The only issue now is that when I middle-click on my F:/ drive, it still crashes. Middle clicking on my F:/Music or F:/Web Page folders works fine. This issue might be unrelated to the styleXP bug though; I'm not sure.

Hope this helped somebody out.
