Stardock Right-Click is coming...
Saturday, August 28, 2004 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
A new Object Desktop component is in the making - Right-Click. This program is both very simple and very powerful.
It's simple in that it only does one thing: Replace your desktop context menu (right clicking on the desktop). It's powerful because you can put pretty much anything you imagine on that right click menu.
And it's FAST. Very fast. And it's skinnable (of course). First beta should be out in a couple of weeks for Object Desktop users. (www.objectdesktop.com).

That's the idea. Just the menu. That's all it will do is focus on letting you create really customizeable right click menus.

wonderful, creative, useful, practical, applicable . . . on and on the adjectives go. Great work guys. I can't help but believe that the money spent on an OD subscription, Wincustomize Subscription, and all the other programs is well-worth the money. Thanks!

I'll have fun confusing myself by trying to run it in LiteSTEP...

Sounds cool. All I want to know is that does Object bar still have the ability to create right click menus or was that taken out all together?

Brad, will this be stand alone or would it be required to use it in conjunction with OD? The reason I ask is that it seems to be self-sufficient in that it'd make a useful stand alone app, but I'm confused on what it's role will be. I also ask because I don't particularly like using Object Desktop but I would like the ability to skin and customize my right-click desktop menu. Please advise.

It'll be available as part of Object Desktop but we will also make it available as a stand-alone program.

I am very excited about this. Always wanted to be able to do more with that menu.

The stand-alone version isn't free. It's "free" for Object Desktop users since it'll be part of Object Desktop.

I'm sorry, but I've started looking at these application teasers with a grain of salt. What happened to that venture into customizing the view options (list, thumbnails, icons, tree, etc.)? Was I dreaming, or did you guys have an article about Stardock moving in that direction in a big way here on Wincustomize? I love Object Desktop. Lots of great programs, but a few left undercooked.
Right-click sounds cool. Does it work everywhere I use it, or only when right-clicking on the desktop?
