ObjectDock versteht sich selbst als Programm-Startleiste "mit Stil". Das Programm ist eine Art animierte Startleiste, wie sie auch bei Apples Betriebssystem Mac OS X zu finden ist. Bei Berührung mit dem Maus-Cursor werden die Symbole der installierten Software vergrössert und teilweise animiert dargestellt.
Als besonders wichtige Neuerung in dieser Version ist die neue Unterstützung für Windows Vista zu betrachten. Ein neuer Zoom-Algorithmus soll ausserdem dafür sorgen, dass das Vergrößern und Verkleinern der Symbole noch flüssiger abläuft.
ObjectDock 1.5 Changelog anzeigen
- Windows Vista support
- Vista-like searching in the image browser
- Users can reserve the edge of the screen for ObjectDock
- BRAND NEW zooming algorithm that is faster and smoother than before!
- Smarter resizing of docks
- .DockZip support
- All kinds of new window dragging features
- Users can now drag and drop data onto programs in a dock
- Tabbed docks will now auto-rotate when you drag them to a different edge of the screen!
- Smarter acquisition of images from short cuts (shortcuts won't have ugly icons anymore)
- Auto-hidden docks show themselves for a specified time when they're loaded in order for users not to forget they exist
- The config dialog for applications (taskbar items) now allow you to drop an image file onto them to set their image, like the rest of the config dialogs in the program.
- Always on bottom docks will now come to the front when click-activated.
- Always on bottom docks will now no longer steal focus from the foreground application unless clicked on.
- Fixed issue where if user put a registry path (e.g. ".html") as a shortcut link the link wouldn't work properly when some browsers e.g. firefox were set as the default.
- Fixed issue where separators on tabbed docks could not be dragged (and thus moved or removed)
- Fixed major issue involving dragging existing items, in which animations would begin to heavily lag and ObjectDock would become temporarily unresponsive on drag and drop operations that are not completely quickly.
- Fixed issue with the top 64 pixels of fully-zoomed icons not being clickable when zoomed to a full 192 pixels.
- Fixed issue with Always-On-Bottom zooming docks, where the dock would flicker some when moving to the front and back again.
- The Calendar docklet for ObjectDock has a grey outline around it (as if the bounding box of the docklet were not transparentized)
- Fixed issue where some rare tray icons who have active popups as their main window, would become inaccessible when you open them via the tray.
- Fixed issue with always on bottom docks where configuring some items would be a challenge as the dialogs would keep going into the background once the mouse left the dock. Instead, the dock is not allowed to move to the back when config dialogs are open.
- Fixed issue with the background-skinning of zooming docks attached to the left or right side of the screen. The caps on the top and bottom would not always be the proper size.
- Fixed issue where if there were no items on a zooming dock, its background would have a strange behavior and not display properly
- Fixed dock issue where if it were set to be always-on-bottom, when you did a drag-and-drop it would snap back to the background on release.
- Fixed issue of authiding zooming docks not immediately re-hiding after you configure them and close the config dialog.
- Fixed issue where systray would exhibit a "shift right" graphical glitch when a program is exited that existed in the tray.
- Fixed rock/swing/glow alternate mouseover effects not working properly when no background is in use by the dock
- Fixed issue where if you were using a tile background and using a rock/swing/glow effect, the tiles could sometimes quickly disappear during a mouse-over
- Modified some option text for hopefully improved clarity
