ObjectDock RC1 released

**muzikool** · November 12th, 2003

For all you ObjectDock users, you might want to head over to Stardock's website and upgrade to Release Candidate 1.0, which was released today. WinCustomize also has a front-page article, which highlights the major changes. I installed it and have already noticed a couple of nice changes -- especially a fix for the issue that sometimes kept folder shortcuts from opening.

definitely improved...

the weather docklet works better and acknowledges my zip code

also I can now get windows to open maximised as expected

Are the default icons still cheesy though?

default icons unchanged afaik...

but you can change the icons...

I personally don't care much.. am glad the weather docklet is fixed though

now the docklet shows me what the weather is like outside..

**SPeedY_B** · November 12th, 2003

Heh, I just think the default icons are evil. But it's definitely my favourite dock app.

**muzikool** · November 13th, 2003

I've noticed a performance improvement on mine since I upgraded. It would get pretty jumpy sometimes, but so far it's much better now. Also, I haven't had to click on a folder shortcut more than once so far to get it to open, so it looks like that issue has been taken care of!

It's beta

Similar to True Launch bar and Y'z Dock

**Geffy** · November 15th, 2003

I think I will stick with YzDock

Same here. I love the docklets for Yz

Just wondering, what docklets are available for ObjectDock?

**SPeedY_B** · November 15th, 2003

I'll stick with /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/MacOS/Dock

me too. i wish there was still some dev going on for this but it's perfect as is. no probs or quirks.

**coathanger007** · November 18th, 2003

Good thing is Yz will remain freeware forever unlike ObjectDock.

I am not sure what drugs you are on but it might be time to stop for a while because ObjectDock has always been free. As far as I know it will remain that why.

**coathanger007** · November 18th, 2003

Only the beta stays free. If you've had any experience with Wincustomize software you'd know that it becomes adware with nag screens etc The whole idea of a release candidate is to get the public to fix bugs before releasing a nagged version. Must be really stoned if you didn't see that one coming

**PseudoKiller** · November 18th, 2003

Obviously you should ask before assuming... I have been a suscriber to ObjectDesktop and WinCustomize and Stardock Central for 3 years now. Several of Stardocks programs have been freeware even after version 1 has come out.

Cursor XP 1.2
Logon XP RC 6
Pocket Blinds v1
SmartException v1.00.002
XPBench 1.03.024
Stack'N Sac 1.0.009
Elves Incorporated 1.0.001
and so on
Minor nag screen in only a few of them at best.

**coathanger007** · November 18th, 2003

Only 2 popular, useful ones are Cursor XP (nag screens) and Logon XP (Release candidate). We'll wait and see what happens with ObjectDock. Betcha I'm right.
