Wheres the ObjectBar documentation?

I must admit that as happy as I am with my purchase of ObjectDesktop + ObjectDock, for the $70 I was expecting complete documentation. These products are not 100% self documenting.

And $70 is quite steep to not provide *full* documentation.

If it doesn't answer your questions, holler back here. Someone should be able to answer your questions.

Ok - that's helpful - thanks Zubaz.

I hope someone from Stardock is listening here because finding docs is a real trial and error adventure with this product.

(1) If the apps' own GUI has nothing more than an About box, then check the installation directory.
(2) Next try the "Start menu" stuff ... there might be a manual there.
(3) Next try the installation directory itself. The ObjectDesktop directory has a "docs" directory which sounds promising. But there's a single PDF file located there that contains some basic documentation for a few of the apps supplied with ObjectDesktop (but not all).
(4) Some of the apps have readme's which are spread around the various directories.
(5) If that fails, click around the Stardock website.

This is definitely an area of the product that needs improvement.
It should take no effort at all to find the instructions that describe how to use the product you have just purchased.

In this case - ObjectDock - the Start Menu or the product UI could have contained a link to www.stardock.com/products/objectbar/docs page.

Rapid updates and cool apps have always been Stardock's strong suit. Documentation has allways been behind.

They are doing better though. Good feedback!
