Yes, but only if You have the dock at the bottom. And it is 3rd party + not maintained since months.

In fact, I have tested this on both the top and the bottom... it works fine so far.

I might be wrong on this point... but I believe that the same thing for OD#1 was third party, with a page set up for it on the wincustomize website.

The first image is what I get under version 2.0 when I right click a file I have saved in a tab

The second image is what I used to get when I right clicked a file in the Tab, this is what I would also like to see in 2.0

For this reason I went back to 1.9 in reality I did not see that much of a difference except for Start Button, and User interface.

Not sure if I wasted my money or not yet

Thanks

Strange, I've got no chance to get the stacks to open upside down on mine.

Pictures are worth a thousand words!  Based on your screenie, ObjectDock Tray is NOT on my list.  Therein lies the problem methinks.

 

this plugin doesn't work with x64, bummer

something else i've noticed, dock backgrounds work on bottom, most look terrible on top or don't flip right, alot are broken if used for side dock.

i used stacksdock2 from here http://rocketdock.com/addon/docklets/22757 and it will expand downwards, but only in grid view, not in fan view.  so thats something at least to work with now, until stardock adds this funtionality which "i know" they will do!

[Feature Request] Regarding the Flyout menu, WHEN it gets put back in could we please have an option similar

to Stacks where instead of the icons rotating in a circle the appear instead in list like the Fan option (but not in

a fan shape) in Stacks? Sure the rotating icons look cool and kinda baffle people who watch me working on my

computer (especially if I just let the icons continue to rotate without selecting one for awhile) but would really

be nice to have a list like option as well.

 

BTW: Running OD2 on Win7x64 and loving it now. Taskbar is finally gone.

adding a dock to the bottom right or left, and i assume the top, will actually extend that dock to other monitors, at default setting, even with no icons on the dock

another problem with systray, it's not showing all programs that are actually in the windows systray, windows 7 x86 and x64

A couple of issues in the OD taskbar:

  • The Network and Sharing center icon is invisible
  • The Sound icon is not clickable

Yes, but only if You have the dock at the bottom. And it is 3rd party + not maintained since months.

And the latest version doesn't work in multimonitor configurations.  Even if the dock and icon are on monitor 2, for example, the fan/grid opens up way over on monitor 1.  8P

I found an old version of Stacks that did work, but it's got bugs and is not feature complete (being an old version).  Very much a hack.

That is most likely an issue with the coding of that particular background.

Another MAJOR issue with the OD Taskbar:

The preview feature doesn't work in the taskbar icons. At least, not with my settings. In the screenshot, I'm using Firefox and the Stardock forum is on active tab, but the preview icon shown is stuck in an old tab that's already closed. I restarted OD but the first tab opened is stuck as the preview image, not like Windows 7 or OD 1.9. Same in every other program, the preview icon doesn't change.

On this topic, are this issues going to be fixed? If not, can I get a refund? The only reason I upgraded was because I didn't want to use the Windows 7 taskbar, and the preview feature is a big deal for me, so is the system tray problem. I thought that with this upgrade the taskbar was going to be working but it's not and I don't want to be stuck with a program that doesn't work for me.

i think a post from this thread was deleted, i believe a stardock person said they haven't seen any start menu launchers that actually worked and didn't break the redraw, well, i can confirm that it does work with the nexus dock, so maybe see how they did it?
