Why Desktopx how does this substitute for ObjectDock

From what I read on  winstep.net  winstep has a Dock that sounds like it puts ObjectDock to shame but you have to buy the full package to get it or all the features at $40.00 I just can't see me buying it just to have the Dock...

but i would be nice if Stardock would bring objectDock up to modern times

RedneckDude,

The average user would have a much harder time customizing destopx to suit their needs than they would Object Dock.

DesktopX has not functioned properly (completely) for a long time now and the new beta issues don't seem to have been addressed yet either.

I admire the patience you must constantly endure with creating DX Themes.

All they have to do is download the theme, drag and drop his shortcuts, just like Object Dock.

What problems do you all have? I am using win 7 64 bit and haven't had any problems with object dock. I use it just to dock folders and apps. Haven't used it for much else since going to win 7 but for that it's perfect here. I understand Rocket Dock works on win 7. I used Rocket Dock on my XP rig and it worked fine.

ObjectDock Plus is a main staple on my 2 machines. Running it on W7 Pro x64 with no issues (except for the known start menu/sys tray issues). Works wonderfully.

You mean to tell me that you cannot reproduce any of the bugs that are mentioned in the bugs' thread?

Why aren't they just making the link to Objectdock 1.90[b] available to us is baffling and infuriating me .

Before I upgraded to windows 7 my 64bit vista's objectdock functioned perfectly, and now I just simply don't have the options available to me since the date arbitrarily reached November 4th.

(random coincidence)

lol, screw impulse for advertising 25% off of objectdock plus when I bought it and can't even use the functions I bought it for.

Stardock was my favorite software vendor until this shenanigan. x.x.

Didn't say it was minor; just said that it works great albeit the lack of these 2 functionalities.

Different people may use the applications in different ways and so may not encounter all the same issues.

Fine. Don't believe it. I use OD+ extensively and have encountered no problems on Vista Ultimate x64 or W7 Pro x64, except for the obvious lack of start button & sys tray.

My saying that I don't have any problems does not negate the fact that you have problems on your end.

Precisely.

Now I was just stating my experience like you have SO many times. Not everyone has issues with OD+. Period.

You've been on this site for less than 6 months, you're not even a current customer (so how do you know so much about OD+?) and the only times I ever see you around are to hate on ObjectDock, with the same complaints over and over.

Myself I have not one problem using Objectdock Plus here... everything works for me in windows 7. There are going to be issues with software though if you do not have windows 7 installed correctly. Which a lot of people do not have this correct.

I'd love to go into all about this subject; but it always comes out where they think they are right and I do not know anything. But with a proper install any program will work correctly with windows 7. Make sure you have the system partition for the boot drive; this partition is essential. It is not hidden and in most cases is only present for a clean install. Upgrades will not show this and will have compatiblity program problems as such.

7 has more compatibilty with programs than any OS esp. Vista. Look at your UAC and properties to make adjustments. Even refine your settings via the event logs and/or such.

Having a proper install and good working knowledge of windows 7 will make things much better for not just Stardock programs; but anything else you may want to use or use.

Good luck!
