cgiggy: the docklets will let you have ' smarter ' objects more than just shortcuts .. the trashcan and clock objects already use them but Stardock is finally releasing the codes so we can see more stuff.

I dont know if its just me, but when I went to the objectdock site, the new version is listed as available, but on download, it still downloads the old version..
Any idea? I wonder if its uploaded yet..
or perhaps is right now in the process of being uploaded..

Is anyone having success downloading the new version? It states on www.objectdock.com that the new version can be dowloaded. However, I keep getting the old version 0.95 instead of 0.99

yep it installs well. it sayd 95 but it install 0.99 build95.
The weather docklet is the only docklet working at this point.
I tried using the other established yz'docklets but it didnt work. There are some missing functions in OD's SDK as compared to yz's, which hopefully will be available in future releases.

I really like the ideas in this new version. Overall it's been neat to see the total progression of Objectdock. When I first DL'd it, I wasn't that impressed but with the way that it's going now, it makes life so much easier! Thanks to all you creators, dock icon-makers, and brains behind all the functions of this program!

Brad, When I first DLoaded ObjectDock I had let several versions pass me bye because I thought this app would be short lived & only a gimmick....how WRONG I was! With these new docklets available it can get only better! Thanks!

Woah, I am a stalwart Yz's dock user but man this is really starting to look good, I'm gonna use it for awhile to see if its as intuitive as Yz's.
