At long last the ObjectBar 2 beta has arrived. ObjectBar 2 will replace both ObjectBar and ControlCenter as it will be a superset of both programs.
The beta is still very early in its overall development but contains 3 key features:
The three big features in this beta are:
- New virtual desktop manager. It's VERY early please keep in mind we'll be adding a lot of new features to this.
- All new cleaned up user interface designed to make it much easier to work with bars and such.
- Widget support. You can embedd DesktopX widgets into your ObjectBar. This is incredibly cool. However, this feature is not designed so that end users will start stuffing widgets into their bars arbitrarily but rather for ObjectBar theme creators to be able to have a lot more flexibility. In other words, it is not being designed so that you can just go out and grab any old widget and throw it in there. The widget should be designed with being put into ObjectBar (so while you can put swimming fish into your bar, it's not designed for that and it'll do weird things no doubt).
You have to have Object Desktop to get this beta. If you don't have Object Desktop you can get it at www.objectdesktop.com.
