I have been a long-time user of the free version of ObjectDock...but I recently built a new PC so I downloaded and installed the latest version of the free version...and am having issues.

I use OD to replace my entire task bar...and was happy to see that OD now includes some of the more useful third-party docklets, like a start menu, weather, show desktop, etc...as well as a fairly decent starter icon set for popular apps. That said, I see no way to add a third-party docklet to the free version. Specifically, I want to install the systray on which I have relied for years. After I saw the limitation on the free version, I bit the bullet and bought Plus since it states that it has systray support...and because I hoped it would allow me to add other docklets.

Well, I have tried using the systray implementation in OD Plus and was quite disappointed to see that it was not the well-known docklet, but is instead is an implementation that just seems to suck @ss. Yes, that is the most helpful critique I can come up with at the moment.

I also am disappointed to see that there is no way to add a third-party docklet in the Plus version...or at least no way that I can glean. I really miss my 3x3 grid of sys tray icons. Displaying them all full size on my main dock is not an attractive option for me, nor is creating a whole new dock or tab for them. What are you folks doing?


TIA.

cheers,
Steve
