ObjectBar 1.21 released

Tuesday, July 2, 2002 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

A new version of ObjectBar is available. ObjectBar is a program that can replace the Windows Start bar with one that is much more powerful and flexible. You can make Windows 98 look just like the Windows XP start bar or make Windows XP look like MacOS. Users can customize it to have several bars running at once. Version 1.21 improves the plug-in functionality so that it can use the same plugins found on DesktopX right in the bars themselves.

A complete and publicly accessible version history would help other sites in posting informative news of new releases from Stardock. If all that has changed from 1.20 is the plug-in functionality, I might want to wait for a more significant update.

I know what you mean but there are a host of bug fixes in here but getting specifics out of the team can be difficult sometimes.

The plugin functionality alone is a pretty big deal though.

Cool. I know what you mean btw, we lost power most of the day today. No power == no sales.

Its so hot up here in New England. Upper 90s. I'm hiding out a friends office to work in the comfort of A/C. I am not looking forward to the drive home in an non-A/C vehicle

Back on topic: A new ObjectBar Yeah! I've just started using it on a permanent/regular basis for about a week now. W00T! W00T!

AAAAHHH!!! There was a 1.20?

Goddammit!

That's what you get for not going on the net for a few days.

Oh well, I'll get over it.

Maybe this update will actually get people to make more OB skins. I'm sick of all those MAC OSX skins on it's page (and the fact that there is an average of maybe 3 or 4 new skins each month on it)
