Re: [Need] A program like Objectdock but uses less

Is this VM or mem usage?

my od is abotu 10,000. I use all custom icons so that might add to the mem a bit.. and i don't auto-hide.

Yeah I have it on autohide and i don't even run my cursor across the icons. I only do it if I open up something that I need to run. I got my Mem usage down to 1,372 and my VM at 10,645. Thanks. I'll see if I can get my VM down a little bit.

OK I did that thanks. Does it matter (in resources) how many Icons I have?
Not sure about that.

So you have yours set to auto hide? The only thing that makes memory use go up on my system is if I use OD alot. For example, run my cursor back and forth across all the icons, which creates alot of animation. Even doing that, it maxes out around 7,500K.

Go into the configure dock settings. Set yours up like I show in my screenshot. This will keep icons for currently running programs from appearing.

Actually it might be the upper option above what I have circled that needs to be unchecked.

You know when you start a program and OD shows what's running at the bottom (I have my dock on the left side)?

You think maybe the mem has something to do with how many programs I have running? OD shows me what programs are running and I don't know how to stop that.
What do you mean it shows you what programs are running? If you mean what I think you mean, then yes you can turn that off. I know I did.

OD mem
See how high it is. It rises when it's hidden.

What forum is that and I'll ask this question over there or see if someone can tell me how to stop OD from taking up so much memory
Heres a link to the forum!

How much memory usage is OD taking up on your system? My screeny is what mine uses. I have OD set to auto hide when I am not using it. That may help since the icons are not displayed unless you need them

Thanks Keizer. I'll check it out.

I thought YzDock was not being made anymore?
You may be right. I found what shows in my screenshot at another forum.

No, but I know a few that have from another forum I attend. They liked it better than OD. As far as memory usage goes, I have no idea.

You could give AquaDock a try!
