What to install ...

from Stardock Forums

So I just renewed Object Desktop for the very reasonable price of like $20 and now I'm sitting at my PC wanting to go to town and start customizing the crap out of my Vista 64 GUI. Problem is, I can't figure out what to actually install from the Object Desktop package? It seems to come with everything but ObjectDock, which I noticed just now is free.

I run a Desktop of 3X28" monitors in Eyefinity and 1X30" (as my 2nd/4th monitor) I'd like to replace the Taskbar completely with some of the Funky ones done by the talented folks here but like I said, what parts of the package should I install ?

There is a free version, but you can only have 1 zoomer with it. The Plus version has tabbed docks, multiple docks, and an assortment of other stuff.

I'd recommend installing Windowblinds, since that'll give the most noticeable change (will skin the taskbar, window frames, dialogs, everything).

The simple answer is just pick one , install it and see what it does, download some skins for it.  Once you are satisfied then move on to another one of the programs.  Do the same until you go through all the programs.

Now for a question, if you renewed Object Desktop, why don't you all ready have the programs installed?

ObjectDock - Access shortcuts and frequently used applications from an animated dock.

Okay, now that makes sense.  :sun:

If you liked WindowBlinds you are going to enjoy Object Desktop.
