ObjectDock 0.55
Monday, November 25, 2002 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
A new version of ObjectDock is available. This is a new build (as of today, as opposed to a buggy version that got leaked over the weekend).ObjectDock is a task manager / program launcher that does it with style. The new beta has these features:
+ Ability to have really really big magnification (almost 200 pixel sized icons)
+ Ability to move the dock left, right, top or bottom.
+ Skinnable backgrounds (defaults to metallic).
+ More font options
Download at www.objectdock.com
Incidentally, please feel free to post this news on other sites, We're a bit swamped right now and would appreciate spreading the word. Thanks.

This is too cool! The icons immage quality is amazing at all sizes! I have this thing on the top of my pc at 14x14 to just fit and stay out of the way. This is a great idea, and see it becoming a fully supported program soon.

Thanks for the many updates, this is truly a great app (IMHO). Don't worry, we've got you taken care of.

Krister,
You can delete the background image and have only the icons showing if you want!

This is nice. I really like that background overlay feature too. Lots of potential.

Any way of making the hands on the clock wider, like 2 pixels instead of 1?

How do you make the dock backround semi-transparent?

Jarget:
I'd try editing the background.png in a photo/paint app to make it transparent.
I dunno if I'd call just changing 2 pngs "skinning," myself! I personally found that the metallic background .55 was too dark to match the metallic in the Object Bar I use, so took the BMP from the Bar, changed the size and saved it as background.png. It looks much better to me. I also hated the new seperator.ong, so made a smaller, lighter one.
Just a simple suggestion.

Yeh...same here. I tried it AFTER I posted. Looks like I had my head up my anal cavity when I said that...
It sure SEEMED like a good idea at the time.
Mebbe someone with more experience with bitmaps can tell up how? I don't mind the background being opaque, but would rather make it partially transparent.

Floyd, yeah I tried it too after reading your post. Maybe they'll add the option in later release ala Mobydock.

Well I don't use PSP but I know it has layers, so in theory you just move the transpancy slider down?
