Hi,
A while ago, I saw a MAC computer and I loved their dock they had, I almost ate my words and considered buying a MAC just for those graphic based docks of theirs! ::shuddering:: lol. Anyhow, I Googled it and found RocketDock. Please don't stone me! But then, accidentally, I spotted Stardock's OD listed with my other Stardock programs. Now I have some questions to ask as I would prefer to use Stardock's so that everything meshes together without conflicts.
Ok, here comes the newbie questions that I can't find answered elsewhere.
1. I want it to look like MAC's dock, where the icons seem to be sitting on a shelf. Is this possible with OD+ ?
2. When I make a folder for OD, when I click on it and it should show me all the icons for programs inside, can I chose to have it fan out like MAC? If so, how many icons will it show? RocketDock has a Docklet that makes this happen and the directions said it worked on OD too but I wanted to make sure as I love that feature.
3. Would an icon work on the dock, which I have in my Windows Quicklaunch Toolbar but it doesn't work in RocketDock and was hoping OD would.. I have the icon set up wiht a different than normal Target in the Properties , set to open my Explorer and open certain folders automatically when I click on it. Here is the target line:
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /n,/e,C:\AOL 9.0\download
Would that work in OD plus?
4. Is there any other benefits of paying for Stardock's OD plus rather than what I am getting using RocketDock?
Thank you SO much for any help anyone can give me. I do so want to use OD but I don't have a lot of money to spend so it would have to be worth changing for. I tried to find the info on Stardock's site but I felt the description didn't really answer these kinds of questions.

Once again you came to my rescue, thank you! I went to that thread and don't worry, I didn't name you! I did kinda hint that it was suggested I go there to post my ideas but I didn't give you up for public humiliation, I swear to it! (I might have hinted at the initials tho.... My brain cell is so fogged by all the editing I am doing for OD+, you can blame it on SD)
Anyhow, I put my two suggestions there, and I thank you, it's nice to have a place to ask if things are possible. I'm crossing my fingers as I see some things that already have been addressed by Stardock that were suggested earlier.
Thanx again!
I hope this isn't a repeat, I thought I posted a reply but I'm not seeing it. I just wanted to thank you too, Mirsguy, for again coming to my assistance by giving me the thread where I could put in my requests. I feel better!
I promise, I didn't offer you up for public humiliation by giving your name, I swear! (I might have given your initials tho, but due to my brain cell being so fogged after all this editing I'm doing to make my OD run the way I want it, you have to blame SD)
Thank you again, I'm truly grateful,
Bwah Hah Hah...... another victim of Zubaz'z sublemonal and sublimenal programming......the plot unfolds......
Hi SharXXXOO,
Don't feel too bad. I bought the entire Object Desktop Ultimate, AND I got the OD plus version! Between downloading Dreams, Cursors, Destop X Objects, Themes and Widgets, Right Click skins, LogonVista stuff and OD Backgrounds and Icons, and THEN testing them all out, I don't have time left for much of ANYTHING! I was able to create one Widget, then I started reading the Forums! Now I eat in front of the computer (while it's downloading more stuff)
DO NOT do a google search for OD stuff, You will NEVER survive!
Its funny but i kind of went thru the same thing, up all hours of the night, constantly downloading backgrounds, icons etc, changing and changing again and again, but after a while that slows down as you never get anything else done, now i have this addiction to MyColors,
Oh, jpmurph1, I did the very same thing! I haven't gotten to the RightClick yet, but I'm trying to learn how to make great icons, I love the glossy ones, and then the OD+ thing just took over my life and I'm enjoying it immensely. Then, Dr J0622, you have hooked me good, I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel anymore! But that's ok, I like it. I turn off my phone, I kid you not! I love MyColors too. I think SD is trying to overload our graphic cravings@ And I want more, more more! I havne't let myself eat at my new computer, I promised myself I wouldn't do that if I got one I really wanted, lol, so I do make myself walk two steps over to my TV and sit there and eat, always with my eyes and ears ready for my downloading to finish!
LOL, you all are great, thank you for all your help and 'encouragment" with acknowledgement of my addiction. Now, who's going to start a program for us lost souls?
