Stardock has released the long awaited update to the popular ObjectDock application.  ObjectDock is an application that gives users the ability to organize shortcuts, programs, running tasks, etc. into an animated dock for Windows.  This new version is a significant update with a variety of new features.

ObjectDock 2 new features:

  • New user interface.
  • Icon reflections.
  • Background blur-behind (Win7/Vista)
  • New mouseover effects
  • New “Ghost-mode”
  • Aero Peek-like feature
  • Folder-View tabs (Plus version)
  • And much more!

You can take a walkthrough of some of these new features here.  ObjectDock has both a free and Plus version.  Current ObjectDock Plus users can upgrade to 2.0 for $9.95, and the Plus version is $19.95.  Users who pre-ordered OD+2 can update via Impulse.

It's been a while, but I believe you do.  Remember to backup.

Still the 'Run as Administrator' option hasn't been re-added to the right click menu making running this program useless for running certain security programs. Why take out a well used feature of v1.9 especially when running as administrator is an important part of Vista and Windows 7! Would it have really been so hard to add? I have been asking\pleading\begging for the feature back since I paid for the beta upgrade months ago! I thought the point of having the beta was for my suggestions and responses on them to be read and to be at least considered.

You could run the beta and 1.9 side by side. Dunno about the release version.

Still having issues with the icon browser. You can't scroll down with the mouse wheel, it just jumps around at the top; and it's still resetting only my Microsoft keyboard settings icon.

I also noticed the "adjust tab font" option is back, although it doesn't seem to work. Every time I try to change it, the fields are empty, and reset back to empty even after I've tried changing the font.

Download of the free version at Download.com is blocked by Eset's Smart Security (and probably NOD32 too) as 'probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan'. False positive, no doubt, so you might want to let Eset know about it so they can fix it on their next virus definitions update.

A good resource to see if other AV suites are flagging a false positive is http://www.virustotal.com

Been bitten by my fair share of false positives as well, so I know what that is like.

Okay, so it's finally released.  But what about those who got 1.90 very late in its life as part of the ODNT renewal bundle package?

I can't (and don't) speak for Stardock, but the policy since forever has been that going from say, 1.5 to 1.8 or 1.9 has always been ok... but the way Stardock considers going from 1.8 or 1.9 to a major change like 2.0 is different, and to add to that, OD 1.9 pre release Beta of OD2+ required a pay in of $9.95 (US) if memory serves (in addition to an active subscription to OD+). I would say you're out of luck, sixshot, but I could be wrong and the best way to find that out would be to fire off an email to sales@stardock.com .

Hope this was helpful.

I actually went back to 1.9 because I have numerous individual files in my tabbed dock and in 1.9 I can right click to context menu and do a copy so I can paste file elsewhere as needed. This capability does not exist in 2.0

The definition is less good!
