What an amazing list of features! Thank you Stardock!

1.29 beta
------------

-PLUS-Enabled activation in Plus build

-BOTH-Added ability to offset dock from edge of the screen

-PLUS-"Automatic distance from edge" (place above taskbar) feature
now fully compatible with multi-monitors. This handy feature ("auto
distance from edge") is only available in the Plus version, and is
enabled by default in the plus version.

-PLUS-Added mouse-activation (different from hotspots) ability for
tabbed docks whose tabs are not always on top. When mouse activation
is checked, docked tabbed docks whose tabs are not AOT will come to
the front when you hit the edge of the screen directly over where
they are for the specified time period.

-BOTH-Not always-on-top tabbed docks that are docked to the edge of
the screen (autohidden) will now un-autohide if you choose from from
the alt-tab list.

-PLUS-Added ability for tabbed docks to reserve the entire edge of the
screen that they are on. Adjustable to be autohidden or not
autohidden.

-PLUS-When dragging docks that are reserving the edge of the screen,
they will detach and turn off their reserve-edge option upon pulling
far away from the edge. If moved back to the edge or to another edge
while in the same move/drag operation, the dock will automatically
re-reserve the edge space upon docking to an edge. Under other/normal
circumstances (just usual docking to the edge), the dock will not
automatically reserve the edge of the screen.

-PLUS-When in "My Docks" dialog, all autohidden or not-on-top
zooming and tabbed docks should come to the front and become
interactive. Upon leaving the application completly, docks go back to
their original positions.

-BOTH-When in the properties dialog for a
individual dock (zoomer or tabbed), that dock will temporarilly
ignore its autohidden and AOT state if present to make itself on-top
and visible to the user.

-PLUS-When using the configuration dialog for a dock, a bouncing
arrow will show up to identify which dock is currently being edited.
Similarly, when in the "My Docks" dialog, upon selecting a dock from
the dock listing, that dock will have a bouncing identifying arrow
pointing to it to identify which dock is currently selected. This
feature can be disabled from the advanced options, and when shown due
to a configuration dialog being active (not "My Docks"), the arrow
will fade out after 5 bounces to prevent it from becoming annoying.
The arrows only show up when there is more than one dock present (and
so are not necessary in the free version).

You should check you title. Looks like your talking about Object Bar but the content says Object Dock to me.

What a wonderful surprise. The offset (and auto distance) options are something I have been hungering for for months now. Really appreciate the stellar update Jeff!

I assume that this is for Tabbed docks. In previous versions, if the dock was hiding somewhere, you had to move your mouse over the actual tabs to get it to reappear. I hope this means that you can move the mouse to anywhere on the screen edge and the dock will reappear. In truth, this was one of the main reasons I avoided using autohiding tabbed docks (I like to work very fast), so if this is how it works now, yeehaw!!!
