How to get old StartMenu back on Object Dock
Friday, November 16, 2007 by Jay Williams | Discussion: ObjectDock
I'm running Vista (32) and ObjectDock 1.90 Plus. I hate the new Start Menu (the one that looks like the Vista Start Menu -- sorry StarDock devs!!!). How can I get the old style Object Dock Start Menu back? The one that is just a simple list, that goes as wide as the widest item, so I can easily see everything at once? Is this possible?
I apologize if this is documented somewhere or has already been answered here. If there's another post, a link would suffice.
Thanks a lot!
Jay

Just FYI, it doesn't *look* like the vista start menu. It *is* the Vista Start Menu

Is there an option or setting, though, in ObjectDock to use the old ObjectDock Start Menu method? You'd think the devs would've kept that as an option for those who don't like the new method.
Thanks,
Jay

There is currently no Docklet that will allow for this.
Sorry.
The start menu docklet just does exactly that. It accesses the start menu.
However there might be a docklet or a dev that could make something like this.
Put out a request or do a small amount of searching.
