Aqua Dock VS ObjectDock

Thursday, April 15, 2004 by connor_roberts | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Aqua Dock is a superior program for three main reasons:

1 - You can not only add .png and .ico and any of the same things ObjectDock can add, but you can also import old YZ Docklets to your bar also.

2 - Aqua Dock does not use GDI, but rather DirectX which is seamless with Microsoft, and therefore Aqua Dock is flawlessly smooth and crystal clear. Object dock will become grainy if you wich to zoom in more, and will hang for a second when moving the mouse fast along the bar. Object Desktop will also sometimes use 99% of your proccessor, while Aqua Dock uses 5% at it's most busy moment

3 - Aqua Dock is not only more user-friendly with the interface setup, but was made 2 years ago, and has been perfected with the new 1.0 release march 24, 2004. You can see screenshots and download it here > http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/13/9/13-9-204.shtml

Enjoy!

So you come to the site that hosts OD icons and skins and the site that is maintained by the good peoples that made OD and you promote something else? Not wise.

I have tried Aqua dock... don't like it at all.

why do I get the feeling you registered at this site for the express purpose of promoting your software?

Oh, it's a free world....we [Wincustomize.com] are happy for people to discuss alternatives...provided accuracy in the telling is not the first casualty.

I joined this site summer of last year...get a life. And second, I didnt make Aqua Dock so it isn't my software. Third, wincustomize.com isnt owner nor affiliated with Stardock the makers of OD, so I dont know what you mean about the "good people" but the fact is, in many other review also, that the performance, look, and functaionlity of Aqua Dock beats OD...besides isn't the goal of this site to promote new programs that "customize" your windows OS? I think so

The interesting issue is that YZDock was served with a 'cease and desist' from Apple...as I recall...and this proggy uses the same 'objects'...ergo is little different [if at all] to that which has already raised Apple's Ire.

Dude...this site does not make the OD software! lol...Stardock make the software, not this site. This site jus thosts peer interaction for sharing mods for Stardock's and other companies' programs. Wincustomize.com doesn't "make" any of this software that we share

so who cares about Apple? lol...Apple is proprietary, and as long as disallows daughter companies to make it's hardware and computer architechture, then it deserves to be ripped off, and open sourced

first of all, I wasn't attacking you(though you have jumped right in and attacked me.) second of all, wc is affiliated with stardock. and third of all, it is fine to debate, but it is in poor taste to trash another's work where that work is posted, and call it a debate. and as an end thought, yes skinning is promoted here and is the whole point of the site, that doesn't however give you the right to make derogatory comments about the software that is posted here.

why all of the sudden when all i say is "Aqua Dock is better than ObjectDock" make you think that I am "bashing" anyone? I just stated why I think AD is better and I backed it up with fact. I never said OD was a "bad" program

Proprietary Copyrights are defended and respected here.

It is considered good practise to be sympathetic to this view.

Those who promote an alternative ideology will be shown the door.

AquaDock is handsdown better than this application. Object dock is jumpy and grainy when changing magnifications. I hate Object dock...it is just another program produced by an already established company that thinks they can get away with crappy programming like this...why do you think they made it freeware? they know it is too crappy to sell alone



u forget this post ?
