I bought OD+ and see that it will be a good program, as with any Beta software there will be bugs and we are helping them with the fixing of these bugs. I'm having the same problems that Citizen zaphod2004 is having but I know that Frogboy and the guys at atardock will fix this and OD+ will be a great program. When it loads default for me it loads a tabbed dock and a normal dock, I can't do any thing else with it but it loads those 2, I try changing the regular docks theme to my old theme as it was already setup and the tabbed doc disapears. I try adding the tabbed dock back in my docks and the whole thing crashes, then asks me if I want to send a report to Microsoft. I know this will all be fixed and worth the wait. Keep up the good work. p.s. the $15 is a small amount compared to some of the other crap I've bought for the computer over the years from othere 3rd party vendors. I'll now get off my soap box.

Casalla, it's OK to want additional features, just make the request at the newsgroups (Frogboy posted it above) and maybe they will add it. Remeber this is a BETA and not eveything is working right yet and new features can (and based on Stardock's past probably will be) added with the initial release and sub releases there after.

For instance on the Thursday posting comments, Frogboy said "Oh and we have a ton of new features that will be part of the 1.x product that will come out over the coming months. Some really cool stuff such as monkeying with workspaces, folder cabinets, more plugins, system tray fly out, etc. ", so keep making requests so they know what people want and you may just see them in the future.

The Multiple monitor feature is great but when toolbars are used on the second monitor the titles show up on the first monitor! Is there any way to turn the titles off?
other than that I am very happy with this program.

WOW!!! I just started playing with OD+, and love it! It's gonna take me a while to really examine this baby.

I wasn't gonna get it, at first, since I never really was all that enamored of Tab LaunchPad, and thought OD+ was basically just a steroid-mutated version of TLP+OD. I bought it, anyway, as I have never been burned by Stardock.

Welp, just being able to add the "Programs" folder as a fly-out menu to my normal dock made my purchase a very wise one, indeed. I can't wait to see how this evolves.

A round of brewskies for Frogboy and the rest of the crew. Put it on my tab!!!

Count me as another happy customer! OD+ is a great combination of a much improved Tab LaunchPad and free ObjectDock. With the system tray feature, now I can finally get rid of my taskbar. I look forward to future updates.

The fly out folders need way more options, like distance, size, ability to open folders not files etc...

I look forward to seeing this get better and better, gj guys.

I'm happy with OD+. I bought it so I can have tabbed drawer docks that are a distinct style from a regular dock. However the mag effect on the regular dock portion still isn't as smooth as I would like so I don't use that portion (I removed the right dock).

I agree on the point of needing the ability to dbl click to open folders in the flyout menu. So many times I have wanted to dbl click on a folder while moving through the flyout only to be denied that simple pleasure!!

Why are people asking for file size and crc#s (near the top mac man was asking). I got an email from someone I DONT KNOW (and they should not have access to my address) asking for this as well. I will not give it because I don't know why they even need it (unless they're up to no good). This is a strange request (especially from a normal citizen). Does this sound strange to anyone else or is it just me.

I rec'd two such e-mails and also consider it strange. I ignored the messages but assume somehow they're trying to get a copy of the software without paying for it. >

Herbzilla, that's what I thought as well (just didn't say it),

but my biggest problem is that I've checked and my email address SHOULD NOT be accessible (deliberately) and I still got an email from whoever (who are now on my rejection list).

Whoever is sending these email STOP, if you are trying to pirate the thing STOP and cough up the $15 (or $20) and give in. If it is for a technical reason (and I really don't see how) email tech support or post a news item through the normal channels (see the link Frogboy posted earlier).

Im all for double-click on flyout items to open them in an explorer window, too.

And menus like kkmenu, please...

I agree, I NEED a Popup Menu thing similar to KKMenu - this is the only reason I didn't go with Object Dock in the first place (and bought True Launch Bar).

I love most of the Stardock software and have now for years - I hope that Object Dock can produce similar loyalties.

I got the same issue with an e-mail asking intel on OD+ they Must be trying for a pirated copy. This is the lousy excuse I got,
"hey, i downoaded my copy of od+ this right away, but i
think mine is corrupted or something. could u please
give me some file details (size, date, filename, and
crc if u can). thanks."
For crying out load, its only 15.00, Its only 15.00, I much rather have them ask for 15.00.

wonder how he's/she's getting the email addy's. victorshackapopolas, that is odd. I know if I downloaded a corrupted file I would just re-download. It sounds like somebody is trying to make a patch. I know that they need the correct filesize and name for a patch. Don't know what crc is. If he/she is emailing you guys with details like that maybe it can be copied and pasted or something and sent to frogboy or support. I purchased plus last night but it would piss me off if I saw a copy floating around for free after I had paid. I would say thus far it's one of the best purchases I've made off the internet but that's another story

I emailed this guy (identical email as above). He replied with a thank you note and that he probably needs to reinstall. I think you are going a little too far here with your assumptions. All he asked for was filesize. He never asked for the file itself, did he?
