stardock makes me veery happy :D

and to those of you who don't use anything from stardock....well, you should give this a try...it's well worth it and you have nothing to loose since it's freeware and will remain that way. and with all the support it's gaining, it doesn't look like development on this app will end any time soon.

i like that they added the ability to keep it on the bottom but y'z dock has had the same feature for al ong time and even better, even though i have autohide off and the dock is behind all my windows all i have to do is move my mouse to the bottom of the screen and it jumps on top. it makes a world of a difference.

For some reason I cannot get shortpopup.exe to work right with objectdock. It keeps displaying the contents of my objectdock folder instead of the contents of my mp3 folder. Works perfectly fine with Yz dock

because you need to set the correct "working folder" and in objectdock you can't do that

i have a couple of gripes and suggestions for this dock...

1. there is no sys tray function, unless you have your taskbar showing and it covers up the dock

2. uses way too many CPU cycles!! :angry: 90% on a AthlonXP 1800+; a dock that i made in html and a direct x call uses 20% :laugh:

3. one good suggestion would be the ability to dynamically change the position of the dock instead of just up, down, left and right

i know this is off topic, but is there a program out there that just shows the systray?

Anyone else having trouble getting this version to work? It won't work at all for me, just maxes out my CPU, the previous version was smooth. Gonna try a clean install, I upgraded the first time.

--edited A clean install fixed that, looks good now, I just gotta reconfigure it :D

Anyone have the problem that when you click on My computer, or shortcuts to folders, nothing happens. The icon bounces, but I have to click like 15 times in rapid succession to get the directory to open sometimes...

Had this problem with 0.75 too.

Anyone else?

i have that same problem...kind of annoying sometimes that you have to keep clicking for a folder to open up

I think this version is getting slightly worse.

They need to fix the above problems before adding more features.

Another issue : with window fx 2.0 and 2 users, after user 2 is logged on and fast user switching is enabled, the dock becomes transparent.

:huh:

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.
