One of the most asked about applications is ObjectDock. Specifically, people have been wanting to know about ObjectDock 2.0. Some have speculated that we have simply given up on ObjectDock, and that is simply not so. It is in development, but since it is early there is no time estimate about release, nor about upgrading.
First off, what is ObjectDock?
Objectdock is a smoothly-animated, customizable 'shelf' on which you can place shortcuts, docklets, system tray icons, and view running applications. The program is available in two versions: Plus and Standard. The Plus version offers multiple docks, tabbed docks, and a unique feature called flyout menus. The free version, while still demonstrating the capabilities of the 'zoomer' docks, limits you to only one dock. You can customize ObjectDock to be anything from a taskbar replacement to a fancy docklet-filled information center.
ObjectDock is certainly one of the most popular desktop applications around, and a lot of work is going into the new version. Maybe in another week or so, a video might be in order.
Let me make note, this is an early screenshot and is still subject to changes in the final version.
With that being said…..
I'm glad to hear (and see?) that, after two years of no new features, there is development ongoing with ObjectDock 2.0. Thank you for giving us all a nibble.
But, not to be a party pooper, the Configuration interface for ObjectDock was already just fine and bug free. In fact, even after four years of not changing appreciably at all, it's still MILES easier to use than the latest WinStep Extreme nightmare hodgepodge of Linux GUI 1990's era configuration dialogues...eesh. Great program, but completely obtuse to a first time user.
So, I'm happy the interface is getting a refresh (and it looks FABULOUS, sir), but I can't wait to see even one new feature come to ObjectDock (like um reflections, please!?).
Good luck and thanks!
Still looking forward to some new FEATURES, amigo. Can't wait.
Can't wait for the beta! Thanks for all the hard work, guys!!!
This happens to me with or without ObjectDock. This isn't an OD problem to be fixed.
Jeff has said before that reflections are a go in 2.0...I hope that is really the case.
That new blur feature still needs some work, Zu.
Reflection! Sweet. Even though I think it looks stupid on a dock setup like that. It really only "works" for me on a tray style dock.
Hey Zu, I think you need to clean your screen!
I don't know what you all are talking about . . I've never posted anything reflection related.
You sound like Bill Clinton to me.
"I really can't say . . and I'd hate to steal ID's thunder . . but . ."
YAY!!!!
Gimme a break! You're not going to buy it because of the background color?!?
I'm more concerned with all the new stuff in OD 2.0. i really could care less about the ui. Besides, you buy these things for what they can do-- not what their ui looks like.
I might try it. Looks interesting. I still like the Mac dock though.
Wow. How long are you really in the OD Configuration screen?
There are many great features available to you once you register, including:
