"Rocketdock Disappeared"
Having the same problem as spoon13_13 from... February '09. The thread was closed, but here's what he posted:

"Hi
I downloaded rocket dock and quickly decided I hated all the default icons so I deleted them all and set the opacity to transparent...great idea...

Now if I go to the task manager it tells me rocket dock is running but I can't see it, nor can I add icons to it. I've tried randomly dropping icons where I think it's hiding but without any success. I've also tried uninstalling it with revo (so deleting registry items and leftover program files) then reinstalling it but its still hiding!

So yeah, any ideas how I can get it back?! Thanks in advance "

Hello MrGrieves567,
I assume you're using windows XP? If so do the following to get it back to 100% opacity.

Make sure rocketdock isn't running.
You can close it through task manager by pressing ctrl + alt + delete keys simultaneously, Then under the Applications tab click RocketDock and click End Task

  1. Open Notepad and copy/paste the contents of the following quote box to a new file.

    Quote:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RocketDock]
    "ThemeOpacity"="100"
  2. Name it rdfix.reg and change the Save as type: to All Files save it to your desktop.
  3. Go to Desktop, double-click rdfix.reg and merge the information with the registry.

Then start rocketdock again and it should be 100% opacity.
