Object Dock 2.0

from WinCustomize Forums
As a large fan of Object Dock myself I was very happy to see some of the new work being done on Object Dock 2.0. I am very often asked what the plans are for updates and the like. I can now tell you that 2.0 is underway with certainty, I have seen it. The time line is not concrete including months for testing and developing a new UI but I do not think anyone will be disappointed. This isn't a teaser just a polite update on one of the top most questions asked me in these forums.

I can also say that I can't answer definitive questions about it yet because it will be one thing at time with this development. Just a fair warning. :)

One very positive thing about Seabass I've made note of is that he spells correctly and has good grammatical construction. For those reasons alone Stardock needs to assign him to Zubaz. ;)
Seabass, please post as things develop and you learn more. Like Mirsguy, OD really is a great application and I use it all the time.

Mirsguy is a great application?  On a side note, everytime I see "Mirsguy", I wonder if he's a fan of the Soviet space program.   ;)

I like to see reflection in icos and genie effect like visual improvements.


Reflections is one of the intended updates.

I hope WinXP support and bug fixes will not be swept under the rug in favor of shiny.

Well, Seabass certainly knows how to make an almost meaningless statement ;)

Still, given the apparant abandonment of several other parts of My Desktop, it is good to know that ObjectDock will get a serious update, although not anytime soon. I can wait a few months I guess.

And I do hope they'll focus on the right issues on this update. ObjectDock is a nice application IMHO, but it just lacks those finishing touches which would make it a great one.

In the last 3 years I have made just over 1k statements and had just over 24 million people read them. I am getting good at this. I am confused what you mean by our abandonment. What programs that we have laid to rest do you mourn?

Also there isn't anything in this world that couldn't be improved some, however while I am still obligated not to divulge information about the updates I can say that I am very excited about them. I think everyone will be pleased.

Not sure which ObjectDock you run or which Stardock you know of. :NOTSURE:

In my opinion, ObjectDock is a GREAT application, that can only get better now with this update. Carry on, Stardock! :CONGRAT:

Thanks for your updates, Seabass. I appreciate them, and understand in which nature they are given. :CONGRAT:

ObjectZip could use a dusting off! ;) :D

I don't know what I will be able to get on the matter but the time for a new Panic Button is at hand. I think I will devote this one to current plans and statuses of our long list of software. It might be a bit late to get it in this month but I think it will be well worth the effort in the next few months.

Zubaz has been Zubazed himself :LOL:

BTW, what about the genie effect? You ain't gonna hide that, would'ya?

A minimized to dock application pops up and expands out of the icon on the dock, and then reverses when minimized. Kind of like a genie in the bottle thing.

I don't know about any effect but that certainly does not mean it isn't possible or already planned. As I said earlier I hope to give out a pseudo, plans and things to come Panic Button to lessen the guesswork around Stardock. Hopefully I can add more about Object Dock. Once again, no promises.  :NOTSURE:

No, I already know what the genie effect is.
I was asking whether it would be included, but seeing Seabass answered it ;)

Thank you much for the compliment. I will be happy to.
