ObjectDock BETA 2 (0.51) now available
Wednesday, November 20, 2002 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
A new version of ObjectDock is now available. ObjectDock is a program that provides a taskbar and launchbar and does it with style by allowing for very interesting visual effects for mouse overs. It's inspired by the MacOS X dock.New in this version is a new magnification option for mouse overs (not on by default, go to settings to change it) along with significantly faster performance, slightly less memory usage and several new display options.
The website is www.objectdock.com.
ObjectDock is freeware. Please feel free to post this news elsewhere.

I love it, and it hasn't given me any problems other than the occasional nameless error that any app will come up with now and then (if I ever find a voodoo3 driver for xp that works...)
I would definitely love to see Objectdock made Iconpackager compatible/aware, be able to dock it elsewhere, and be able to group taskbar entries.
And since Stardock is one of those awesome companies that LISTENS to their users
you can bet it'll happen. Just last version we asked for customizable fonts, and got it! WOOHOO!
More eye candy would be great. I like the idea of the text 'dropping' behind Objectdock when focus is lost. How about sending a ripple through the entire dock when an icon is clicked? Or on the more functional side, allowing the user to insert seperators?
That's all toys and fun so far, but here's my big big uber important request: how about a function where apps are removed from the launcher when they're running on the taskbar? It'd have to be a per-shortcut setting of course, since some programs are good for multiple instances, and others only need one...

This should spin off a new program called ObjectIcon. You right-click on a icon and select ObjectIcon and it works like the icons in ObjectDock, only, on your desktop..

Actually... that's what's happening with DesktopX 2. And it's called IconX technology.
Includes shadows and zooming and sound effects and more.

oh yeah one more thing...
for you guys that can't do with out your system try and need the start button still. Just check off auto hide in your task bar properties.
so now i can have my object bar running too to have a complete OSXP feeling

Is there a way to remove a blank spot or a question mark for a shortcut that won't install in object dock. Otherwise I love it, it's very smooth.

Just read a blurb somewhere that the next release of ObjectDock is going to let you customize the forground and background... hmmm I think Wincustomize is going to have to add another skin area.

I got some path problems with ObjectBar. The shortcut path is good, but when I launch some apps (Morrowind, RTCF), i got an error message about the path of these apps .ini files... 
And I have the 'title' bug too (I rename some shortcuts, but when I restart OD, the old name reappears...
).
