Tuesday, November 14, 2006 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Stardock has released ObjectDock 1.5. ObjectDock is a program that lets users add docks on their computer. These docks can host programs, running tasks, docklets, and more. They're a great way to organize your desktop and they're incredibly cool to use.
ObjectDock 1.5 has a ton..TON of new features in it. These features include Windows Vista compatibility, a new image searching feature, .DockZip support, a new algorithm for zoom docks, drag and drop support for items on docks, tabbed docks rotate automatically when docking them with a screen edge if necessary, a host of mouse-over activation features, and more.
ObjectDock is freeware. Stardock also makes a Plus version called ObjectDock Plus which adds tabbed docks, multiple concurrent dock support, system tray support, task grouping support and much more.

I'm having a problem too.
I have my dock set to zoom and after I click on an icon it starts the program but the dock stays zoomed.

Fix confirmed! That was quick!
The image library is looking quite slick and vista-like with the search box up in that corner

WG, I tried that years ago, 2or 3 maybe, going from OD free to OD+. What happened was that periodically both versions will run at boot, causing error messages and conflicts. If 'twas me, I'd copy my theme, background, png, ico, image files to a new and separate folder far far away...
...oh, sorry, I'm back now.
Uninstall OD and reboot and install the new one and move the saved files back in. My plan, anyways, but I haven't done it yet. Just got here.
Maybe this version will just install over the existing and play nice...dunno.
Auto-tabs for side docks? Cool!

I knew having the free version would cause problems...I was wondering if it would do the same installing a new Plus version over an old Plus...I'm still using the 1.3 version

.... as opposed to? I didn't know there was any other type of OD.
Are the Properties dialogs 'sluggish' for anyone else?

No not here Super K, actually all prop and settings dialogs seem faster than 1.3 for me.

All's well here!
Found the update in SDC and went for it. Rebooted and it all went like clockwork.
Also 1.5 over 1.3. And also, everything seems faster and better.
New systray right-click menu has new "Package Images for Sharing" option...
Great job!!

Been using the free version for a while now and thought it time to update to the plus version. Well worth the money now i can use some of WebGizmos fantastic tabbed docks he creates.

Noscci...see reply #4
Koasati...Stand alone as in not installed through SDC. And the question was...can I install the new version over the old without uninstalling the old?
Captain Goodvibes...Thanks for the comment...Love to hear when people are using my docks!

I see what you mean now... I've always installed the new version without uninstalling the old, and haven't had any problems yet.
Seems I have a software conflict with another program and this new version, narrowed it down to 3 so far.

Though I've noticed something wrong on OD+, if you go to the themes panel in the preferences, and click on "go to my image library", it brings up the adjust tab font dialog instead
