Weekly Poll

Wednesday, October 4, 2006 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Another week, another poll!  Last week, you were asked to give your impressions of ObjectBar 2.0.  Some formatting changes to the poll have moved it off the front page for the time being, and that may have impacted our vote numbers, but for those of you who did respond, the results were pretty positive, with only 8 or so of you claiming that the software was responsible for killing your inner child.  126 votes were count this time.  For those interested, as always, here are the numbers:

How would you rate OB 2.0?
It rocks! 51 40.48%
Good 39 30.95%
Average 19 15.08%
Disappointed 9 7.14%
It killed my inner child! 8 6.35%

--------------

This week's question is this:

Do you enjoy the tech news posted to the front page of WC?

Results to follow next week!

Well I think it looks good, however I need some new skins to really get playing around with it. None of the included ones really does anything for me.

Yea, a OB skin contest to boost the number of OB2 skins would be nice. I really like how you can quickly assemble a bar in OB, but I want skins and at the moment I find it quite confusing to try to skin this fella.

Last week, I called it a steaming pile of crap. After a long forum battle and a generally humbling experience, I got the answers I needed for OB2. I voted that it killed my inner child, but now I would cast my vote in the "good" column. While it is now an improvement (for me) over 1.60, I believe there is still work to be done: *cough* documentation *cough*. I don't mean skinning docs, those are fine...I mean user docks. So much has changed in the basic user functions (like moving items) that it would be nice to have at least a help file.

I am now using 2.0 full time on three systems and it's getting roughly twelve hours-per-day workout between them. One of those systems is a dual-monitor system and it does work better on that system than 1.60 did. It's too bad that the newsgroups are all but dead now. It doesn't seem that there's a lot of forum traffic on the subject. (except for my thread)

There are still a few issues for me, but nothing that will keep me from using the product at this point. I'll bring them up in the forum later...politely

Until then:
