Some suggestions to make ObjectDock more powerful

Hello everybody!

I buyed the ObjectDock last weekend. It is a wonderful program!

After I worked some days with the dock, i have some suggestions:

1. Flyout Menues are wonderful, but there ist no chance to edit the way they appear! I read in the forum that Stardock is working on this prob.
2. There is no chance to open a flyout menu in a new window. Perhaps on left mouse click, the flyout menu appears and on right mouse click you have the chance to open the menu or the folder to which it is connected.
3. If you click the Start Menu entry it doesn´t open sometimes. The Message that comes is: "StartMenu helper file was injected but failed to take effect. Can not show start menu at this time, please try again."
4. "Display open windows along with my icons" and "Represent minimized windows by their screenshots": This combination is good to design a windows taskbar. So you don´t need the original taskbar anyway. But why are only the minimized windows represented? If you want to swap to another, not minimized window, you can´t see the content. This would be a nice function!
5. Sometimes the screenshots of minimized windows lost.
6. Mouseover effects: Is there a chance to combine the zoom effect with another (p.e. swing) in future versions?
7. I am from Germany so i took German Language. Some texts are translatet other not!? Perhaps I can help you to translate the rest.

Overall I am very happy about my new software! This seven things are only suggestions to make it better!

Sorry about my english!

MfG Salze

Salze, your English seems pretty good to me. I was able to understand everything you wrote. Anyway, these seem like good observations/suggestions. JB, I'm sure, will see this and answer your questions. I've got a lot of ideas myself for OD but it seems, right now, that the software isn't capable of doing what I'd like. That's not to say that I don't LOVE the product. I'm an OD junkie all the way. Glad you like the program. It's great and very flexible.
