The problem is that most programs don't come with a 128x128 size in it's icon by default.

doh... never seen this message before since running this computer for 3 years!!! OD+ must have a memory leak. Windows just informed me it has to increase the page file size and some programs may be denied more memory.

I made the mistake of browsing into my mp3 folder. Flyout menus don't like trying to display 1000+ files at a time. everything slows to a crawl!!

Feature enhancement/request,
on the Flyouts, allow users to customize mouse overs and clicks, for say by default on mouse over do Nothing, if left click browse with the another layer of flyout (like default now), or on right click open folder in normal explorer window.

Maybe also only open in flyouts if less than X amount of files (I noticed this is a MAJOR problem with them), as mentioned above. I had the mistake of scrolling through the Control Panel and when I accidentally went over the Fonts, BAM, slowed to a crawl and the crashed, but other than that works great in all normal folders.

Frogboy, you think you can make a posting somewhere on the ideas you will be adding/improving for the 1.x releases (i.e. things you're focusing on).

thats f****** b****** ObjectDock should have stayed free, u guys try to make money from everything what happened to object dock is free everyone wants to try out how it works... programs like these are fun and people have fun using them but when you make a cost to it, it just doesn't seem like you wanna even use it anymore


Mildly 'adjusted' for language content.

Well... I gotta eat some crow. After looking around some more, I found out you CAN build your own sub-docks in the fly-outs.

This app rocks!

Saleenshady, your opinions are best left unspoken, especially with the language you are choosing to use. People have to make money to make a living. No one is forcing anyone to buy the program. If people don't want to pay for OD+, then stick with regular OD and be happy.

I have found one issue... if you place a docklet in a custom flyout menu, you can't access it's right mouse popup menu. This makes a lot of docklets near unusable because their functionality depends on that popup menu being available.

Again, thanks guys!

Saleen:


# of docks currently being actively developed: 1: ObjectDock. And it's freeware.


As hopefully anyone who now has ObjectDock Plus can tell you, the features in ObjectDock Plus are features that no one would have dreamed would be part of regular ObjectDock.  I don't think Mobey Dock or whatever ever envisioned having skinnable system tray items, fly out menus, tabs, or the dozens of other really cool features in OD+

Just purchased ObjectDock+ and installed. Loads a previous theme at startup which seems to work fine. But, it CRASHES every time I try to add a new dock (tabbed or non-tabbed). It also CRASHES when I add a "start Menu Entry". Also crashes when I click on a "Fly Menu". Tried deleting dock and starting fresh...no luck. Made sure previous freeware versions were unistalled and tried fresh install of OD+ to a different directory...it displayed a couple of tabbed docks, but when I tried to add a dock it would crash. Tried setting WindowBlinds and WinFX to ignore objectDock+ ...no luck. The freeware (build 1.02 and earlier) worked just fine. Running WinXP...any ideas???

Kirk, very odd. You'll want to go to the news group and repeat what you just wrote.  All the hardware info you can give would be helpful and any other system info. news://news.stardock.com/stardock.objectdock

hey frogboy, i only just realised. The Flyout menu's only work if there is an actual dock. If i took the dock away, the flyout menu item nolonger works. It does work tho. Just something to report...

bought it and after playing with it for some time, I have to say I'm a bit dissapointed. Seems to me that ObjectDockPLUS is basically ObjectDock free plus some kind of desktopX thingie, i.e. the new features aren't really integrated into the original OD. Sure the fly-out-menu, tabs and systray features are cool, but I thought the main feature of OD was the sleek magnifying and dynamic enlargement effects and this does not seem to be possible with new tabbed docks, does it?.
So I hope this will be implemented in future, otherwise I probably won't use any of the new features...

If anything Castilla, i'd say this is more a mix of Tablaunchpad and objectdock. Cant please everyone i guess. But i for one am quite statisfied and pleased with the product.

ok, than it's tablaunchpad. But "Cant please everyone i guess" is not the point. The problem is: you can't have an objectdock which behaves like the original combined with the new features. Although not explicitly advertised, I'm sure I'm not the only one who expected this.

Actually, cant please everyone is the point. There are people who have posted that are certainly satisified with the product including myself.

Animation on tabbed docks was not advertised nor hinted.

DJ_Souless you're right nothing explicit refers to the tab version behaving like the original. But the result is that OD+ now has to distinct dock types. Now I've purchased OD+ and I'm already a fan. But Stardock might want to consider combining the two dock types into one. A tabbed zoomer...

On another note. I've noticed that when you enable the hide the windows taskbar functionality it shrinks the taskbar and sets the auto-hide to enable, anyway to get around this. The ides being that I want to leave and empty space at the bottom of my screen where I got one of my zoomer docks.
