Right click dock, Add, New Flyout Menu. By default will be a flyout for My Computer, right click icon and then config to what you want it to link.

When you click the icon to open, the flyouts drop down in a semi circle, there is nothing you need to do.
To get the look in screenshot you need to download jimmyyy's docks and follow the read me text, he explains how to make this set-up. There is a third party app to reserve screen edge needed, apparently the way ObjectDock reserves edge does not work for this look.
In his read me he states that it will take 5-10 mins to set it up.

I just want the semi circle docks thats all. for the position on the screen.. i cant seem to adjust it to where i want it to.. as in the screenshot. when i make the new flyout menu, it looks like a regular dock to me .. its not a semi circle..

If you mean open in a semi circle then no, once you navagate to what you want in the flyout and click to open it then the flyout closes. In the screenshot the flyout is opening from the Office 12 icon.

Hey guys, a new beta of ObjectDock / ObjectDock Plus for v1.6 is going to be going up on Stardock Central very soon, maybe even today.
A lot of work has been done fixing up & reworking flyouts - should be no visible changes, but under the hood there have been lots of modifications. Please try this beta out and make sure it still works good for you / nothing is broken!! We've tried it out extensivly here but we want to be sure it works for every user, so feedback is apprecated - thanks everyone!
