Object Desktop 2011 wishlist
What can we do for you?
Monday, September 13, 2010 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
The Windows "ecosystem" is complex these days. There's Windows XP users, Windows Vista users and Windows 7 users both in 32 and 64 bit versions which require their own versions believe it or not if you want to fully support it.
Our question to you, what would YOU like to see in the next major revision of Object Desktop?
If you don't have Object Desktop already, what are you waiting for?!

Did anyone fix that glitch where the UIS2 titlebar close button doesn't show up if you remove everything in there, and put in a new image and choose the action of "close window"? In order to get it to work, you have to choose a different action when you first import the image, and then change the action after you import it.
It's not a major glitch (i.e., can't be worked around), but it drove me up a wall trying to figure out why my skins had problems with people using UIS2 frames, and made me doubt my skinning skills until Vampothika posted her tutorial for Skin Studio and outlined the problem.

also the fact that many of the windows 7 features do not have an example pic of the element in use, and also there is no windows 7 only sections like there is for xp, I think that both of these would help beginners that are new to skinning wb

SkinStudio has a setting to let you set which OS you are wanting to make the skin for. Any parts which do not apply to that OS are then hidden.

That's true, but the bits that apply to 7 only, don't have any images in them, so if you're new to skinning, you don't have any idea about how big of a canvas you're going to need to create for those images. It would be very helpful if there were a template skin for Windows 7 already in place (like there is for XP), so there is a hint at how big the images need to be.

Fix the fact that the Start Button Docklet for ObjectDock 2 on Win64 actually shows teh right side of the menu because now its see through and its hard to see my menus.

ObjectDock is not part of ObjectDesktop.

New wish : Time schedule with fixes and enhancements like for Elemental. 
It really hurts to see that the OD suite has become such a letdown... I mean, do You really think us OD subscribers to be total idiots ???
Next excuses for updates of OD apps not happening will be the needed manpower for ongoing updates for that f***g game.
At least WB is still going.

I don't think they believe us to be idiots....they believe us to be junkies. They got us hooked on hydro and now we're grateful for regs...WHEN they have them. Stardock is the only dealer in town, so....we're at their mercy unless we kick the habit.

Just another thread to keep people busy and hoping. See when it started and how Brad never came back.

I second the suggestion of multi-monitor taskbar with support for Win7's taskbar features.

Thomassen: Just get Notepad++.
way better, free, under development and comes with Norwegian translation.
download: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
screenshot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Notepad%2B%2B_screenshot2.png
and this is only one option, pretty much every text editor available has better features than Object Edit.

I do use Notepad++
But I still miss ObjectEdit at times. It was small and nimble.
Reply #98 Wednesday, October 27, 2010 10:06 AM
I wish to see some screenshots when they are ready.

Any chance of some screenshots or a prelimary list of programs that will be included with Object Desktop 2011 or it it way to early for that?
