How about the issue with auto Start-up??
Do you still have to add a shortcut to your start menu to have the program run on boot-up??
This created problems for me because the weather object would never load , due to other items were starting up at the same time.
Thanks..

No UK support on the weather docklet 
Other than that, great release.

The new weather docklet has a GDI object leakage problem similar to the one in the XML Weather docklet posted by Judge.

WOOOOOOOOOW!!! I am as well geting deeply dependant on Stardock who acctully converted my opinion about Windows being ugliest system out-there... And this version is the best one so far - stable as rock and the main thing in my opinion it DOESNT USE 70%+ of CPU power just to animate the icons. Now it went down to about 20% which is AMASING... Still havent went through everything yet but this was the first thing I have noticed and I had to post this... ANYONE INTERESTED DOWNLOAD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!! Amasing!!!!

I downloaded it, and installed over my current copy and it works just wonderfully. Although none of the updates really affects things as I have them. The weather docklet is a little improved at least.

I think I need to get back on the designing board. I'm slacking. My OD skins were my biggest downloads.

Great to see a new version.
I would use this over Object Bar , but it does not
support a Pop-up Menu type of functionality - which I use
heavily.
Also need a systray capability -
Its very nice looking - cool effects - now if we can just 'merge' the two
