ObjectDock Alternative!??!
Friday, September 12, 2008 by OneLumpSum | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Well, I dunno if anyone has seen this, but someone has created a circular dock that is (IMHO) pretty friggin cool. It's based off the windows seven dock, it spins and rotates, and is fully customizable with circular skins, all icons can easily be changed, it has a sort of "category" feature kinda like DellDock, where you can add a folder, then put shortcuts or files in it, and when you click on it, the folder goes to the center of the dock, and its contents open around it. I just started messing around with it about an hour ago, I provided a link to the site where there are some really cool demonstration videos. Don't get me wrong though, This is not an OD Replacement, nothing could ever take its place, 
LoL, but it is something new and fun to play with, has a lot of different features, at least worth checking out the vids, and I dare you to not download it and spin it on your screen!
I'm watching.....

Po, There is an option in the settings to set the rotation, mine spins with my center mouse button. The Square backgrounds are for a future release that will have docks like OD and square shaped docks, just haven't been implemented at this time. The icon replacement feature is my favorite. Also, if you right click on the dock and add a dock folder, then click on it, it opens an empty ring where you can add more files, kinda like a category. Then you click on the center icon to get back to the main ring. messiah, I'm not sure why yet, but it isn't set to be a permanent fixture on the desktop, only appears when clicking center mouse wheel, or setting a hot key command. It'll be nice when it does, then I can leave it in the lower left bottom corner of my screen and use it for shortcuts and start menu. Someone did put up 3 other backgrounds to share here, http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?topic=14881.new#new . If you get around to making some circle docks mind sharing them?? I'd like to see what you come up with, some glass would be nice! Is there still an active suggestions thread for the updated OD 2.0, I have one suggestion I'd really like to see.
