Widget or Object needed to display open programs
Friday, March 18, 2005 by Activar | Discussion: DesktopX
Hello -
I am new to DesktopX and am enjoying what I see thus far. I like the option of hiding the taskbar.
The problem this presents for me is that it is now cumbersome to see open programs, without doing an ALT+TAB.
I'm trying to get into the habit of rolling my windows up instead of minimizing them but in the meantime is anyone
aware of a widget or object that displays the open programs?
TIA

Thanks Citizen Zubaz!
I am checking them out right now.
I haven't used Object Dock yet but recall playing with it sometime ago and not having a great experience.
To be fair I may have given it 30 minutes of my time...I'll give it another look!

Trust me, if you tried it awhile back, its way superior now. That prog has really improved!

Zubaz - Yes, I did. Wasn't too crazy about it allthough it did do the job. It doesn't stand up to objectDock, IMHO

The free version does this reall well with a hidden, open on mouseover setting.
Or if you have OD+, eiter a docked to the side or floating, always on top, tabbed dock.
It's a goodness.
