95A works fine and that's what's going out to the public.

95a isn't working so fine for me 
My system tray is not being displayed by the Mac skin. The Windows Classic skin doesn't display it, either.
And I can't for the life of me foigure out how to make the Mac bar absorb the menus of the active windows.

"Fine", It's outstanding, a massive improvement to the MS taskbar. With the finishing touches that appeared in the .9 versions it is definitely ready for primetime. I want all my programs to do more but but alas I figure it will come with time...

wow... strips the menu out of your app and puts it in the taskbar? That sounds like something that shouldn't be possible. I gotta try this out - that's downright amazing.
Can you put a standard toolbar like the address bar in it? I was never able to figure that out in ObjectBar.

you can put various things into an OB, but as memory serves not yet the address bar.
i beleive that the address bar (or something like it) is on the to do list.
remember that OB is going to support DX pluggins soon!

ObjectBar is great. My only problem is that it doesn't show if menu items are checked or not. This will be fixed eventually, right? Except for that, I love it!

Read my Object Bar .90 and windowblinds thread for details about why OB will not convert some XP skins, and how to fix them so they will.

for once it is blatenly obvious that there is a speed increase when using a stardock product over the MS standard issue one. I converted the current WBXP skin I'm workin on to OB and it is definatly faster than the windows standard when showing menus..
Great Job Jeff
