ObjectBar 2.0 Released!
The wait is finally over
Tuesday, September 19, 2006 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
At long last, ObjectBar 2.0 is available now on Stardock.com . This upgrade is free to existing customers.
ObjectBar is a program that can replace or extend the Windows taskbar. It provides the functionality of the Start bar while adding a vast array of new features and benefits. Because it is so flexible and skinnable, it can be made to look like any sort of toolbar, menu, dock, etc. found on any OS, or it can be used to create something entirely new, giving you a level of personalization on the Windows desktop interface.
This new version comes with several different looks to choose from, and each one can be personalized based on your needs.
This versatile and useful program is only $19.95, or can be purchased as part of the Object Desktop Suite of desktop customization programs for only $49.95.
For more information, go to www.objectbar.net

Gregory2001 - looks like one of the themes that were shown in the article from about 3 weeks ago is still being worked on. Keep an eye out for it - hopefully it will be ready soon!
For those who want to create their own themes, Jeff Bargmann, creator of ObjectBar, has posted a skinning guide. You can find it by going to www.objectbar.net and clikcing on the documentation button.
Hope everyone likes it!

Nutshell: restart your Stardock Central client and it should show up then (it did for me, even yelled at me to update).

Well worth the wait! Good thing I have nothing planned - this will keep me busy awhile! Thanks all who were involved in development - Great Job!

Seems to slow down my system quite a bit -
to the point I wouldnt use it - and yes, I got a kick ass system - Also wish that the Folders you drop (which become a popup) would expand any Shortcuts it finds
It is a much nicer interface

I loaded the Vista side bar, and it's W I D E
Takes up 1/4 of the screen...
I've looked all over, but see no place to 'resize' it?
