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…..

Excellent! The interface is much improved! Great job, devs! Thanx for the peek, I.D.

The "How to edit your docks" suggests maybe a link to the Wiki also...which would be neat. This is a big step forward and as I've said in the forums, well worth waiting for.

Sweet! I love ObjectDock! I can't wait for this. Will it have full 64-bit compatability?

This really brings the UI in line with most  of the ODNT family.It appears to be very clean and easy to navigate.Looks great so far.

Lots of drooling over here!  Is there going to be a preview similar to how WindowBlinds previews the blind you have selected before applying it?  I see the window on the left there but is that just a static image that never changes or is that a live preview of that particular dock?

"...since it is early there is no time estimate about release, nor about upgrading..."

what's meant by upgrading?

is this a simple update or is this going to be a whole new product (and so requiring a whole new payment)?

Fantastic !...  benn waiting and hoping and now... i don't have to hope anymore... but i guess the waiting isn't over yet.

That is a good question.  Historically what we have done is go back a certain number of months or a version and automatically give a free upgrade to users who purchased after a certain date or who own a particular version (in this example it might be 1.9).  We are still evaluating how to do best do this for Object Dock, but for certain there will at the very least be an upgrade path for current users so they don't have to pay full price.

if it ain't broke don't fix it

seriously, i love you guys, but you keep doing things like this to me. first you send me 20% for a game i'd purchased a week before hand, then 50% off demigod but only valid till the day before i get paid. now, potentially, i'll have to pay to get the best of a product i only bought a couple of months ago...

i know you'll do the right thing. i hope so...

oh! forgot to say, w00t!!! update

on Jun 02, 2009

Whether I get to update or have to pay; it's as good as mine!

And if ya'll need any testers or test skinners, I've got a few idears...
