ObjectDock 1.0 Release Candidate

November 11, 2003 1:09:44 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
ObjectDock 1.0 release candidate is now available for download at www.objectdock.com.

ObjectDock is a freeware program launcher / task manager that does its job with style. It's completely skinnable, can have tasks and programs be represented by .PNG files or icons, and has a host of special effects to make it look and feel like any kind of dock one might want to have on their system.

New in this release candidate:
  • Issue with icons temporarially disapparing and/or stopping updating (e.g. clocks) after changing screen resolutions or coming out of hibernation fixed
  • Settings are now saved whenever the config dialog is closed, rather than on exit only.
  • Mouse activation:
  • When in "normal z-order" mode, will bring to front when mouse moves into activation area and leave there until another window is activated
  • When in "bottom" mode, will bring to front when mouse moves into activation area, and will put the dock back on bottom when the dock leaves the dock's area.
  • Resizable Icon Chooser dialog (remembers its size as well)
  • Added text to clerify how to remove docklets
  • Updated Weather plugin to use Weather.com's XML feed, and added ability to switch to metric units.
  • Fix issue with folders as shortcuts not properly launching
  • Run-visibility option added for shortcuts (run minimized, maximized, etc)
  • Improved clock to have thicker hands
  • Option to add your own separators added
  • Fixed a large number of additional little glitches found from postings on the messageboards, thanks to tips from testers

How about the issue with auto Start-up??
Do you still have to add a shortcut to your start menu to have the program run on boot-up??

This created problems for me because the weather object would never load , due to other items were starting up at the same time.

Thanks..

The new weather docklet has a GDI object leakage problem similar to the one in the XML Weather docklet posted by Judge.

WOOOOOOOOOW!!! I am as well geting deeply dependant on Stardock who acctully converted my opinion about Windows being ugliest system out-there... And this version is the best one so far - stable as rock and the main thing in my opinion it DOESNT USE 70%+ of CPU power just to animate the icons. Now it went down to about 20% which is AMASING... Still havent went through everything yet but this was the first thing I have noticed and I had to post this... ANYONE INTERESTED DOWNLOAD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!! Amasing!!!!

I downloaded it, and installed over my current copy and it works just wonderfully. Although none of the updates really affects things as I have them. The weather docklet is a little improved at least.

I think I need to get back on the designing board. I'm slacking. My OD skins were my biggest downloads.

Great to see a new version.
I would use this over Object Bar , but it does not
support a Pop-up Menu type of functionality - which I use
heavily.
Also need a systray capability -
Its very nice looking - cool effects - now if we can just 'merge' the two

The same issue occurs from the previous version: When using the custom enging (since the other pegs the CPU) I get lines through some icons. Resizing larger or smaller creates lines in other icons while clearing up the others

I.R. Braniac..it's the correct version (update-wise)...just the file name is old. I was able to install over my current version.

Lovely to see a new release. It's just a shame that the rest of the world aren't worthy of a weather docklet that support other countries.
