Where's the task bar? It's (AquaDock) useless (to me) with out it.

connor_roberts : As already stated : AquaDock IS Y'ZDock blatantly ripped (if not really stolen). Get Your facts right before promoting any software and talking crap like this. I have had all 3 docks on my system and ObjectDock was the one to stay. Now You can guess why ?

Regardless of what's better, what's stolen or not, I don't think anyone has the right to hold ObjectDock's bugginess or lack thereof against StarDock (although it would be nice if that update I keep seeing would not fail every time!).

Fact: Stardock gives ObjectDock away for FREE and does not offer official support for it. They can leave it is buggy as they want, it doesn't matter - you didn't pay for it. If, on the other hand, it's ObjectBar's bugs you want to complaina bout - that's different. They expect money for that.

Yawn, I'm getting sleepy with this topic. But, when is the next version of ObjectDock coming out. Please, less memory usage and fix the leaks. Thank you.

Me thinks he's never changed the ObjectDock settings. There are various quality settings in it.

I'm not sure why he thinks we should sweat it. Oh no, he's dissing one freeware program over another.

Not only dissing but also promoting a ripped program

It's probably just me, but every now and then I enjoy a little moronic entertainment..

Well, maybe a little late to contribute to the topic ... what a novel idea
but I installed Object Dock right after getting here. Haven't taken it off since. Put it on my machine at work. Great program and does what I need it to.

Ironically, I downloaded Y'z Dock right before it .. ah .. disappeared, but somehow never got around to installing it.

I really like Object Dock myself. I just wish that I could use it more. I would like it to be a permanent addition to my desktop. But, it uses too much memory. Sure, there are better settings that slightly improve the memory usage, but at the loss of visual quality. Maybe if it used more of the DirectX drawing methods, and less of the GUI drawing methods, it would probably be better.

Also, it tends to continue to use memory, until you have none. And it locks up sometimes or lags terribly. This is especially true with all the great additions available to it. Such as the Weather Object. Come on everyone, sure Obj. Dock is good, but it has quite a way to go.

It is just like the BootScreen. They are both great programs, don't misunderstand me. But, they are still in the development stages. The problem is that when they are both fully developed, I doubt if they will still be freeware.

Also, I would never use YZ Dock. I'm stuck/struck with Stardock Programs. I'll just wait for the next version of Object Dock and hope it gets better.

so you prefer a program that has a memory leak and would never use one that does not? that´s .... erm ... kinda hard to understand.

I have no memory leak problem with Object Dock, then again, I don't use the weather docklet. I think the leak comes from the Weather object, not the dock program itself. I could be wrong though.

Object Dock runs without much problems for the need I have. And I can't think of a dock being of any use without a taskbar. It's a must have.  Only one bug I have: the apps in the taskbar sometime won't restore when clicked, I have to Alt-Tab to bring them back. But that's relatively minor and it doesn't happen very often.
