The ObjectDock 1.0 release candidate is now available for download at www.objectdock.com.

ObjectDock is a freeware program launcher / task manager that does its job with style. It's completely skinnable, can have tasks and programs be represented by .PNG files or icons, and has a host of special effects to make it look and feel like any kind of dock one might want to have on their system.

New in this release candidate:

  • Issue with icons temporarially disapparing and/or stopping updating (e.g. clocks) after changing screen resolutions or coming out of hibernation fixed
  • Settings are now saved whenever the config dialog is closed, rather than on exit only.
  • Mouse activation:
  • When in "normal z-order" mode, will bring to front when mouse moves into activation area and leave there until another window is activated
  • When in "bottom" mode, will bring to front when mouse moves into activation area, and will put the dock back on bottom when the dock leaves the dock's area.
  • Resizable Icon Chooser dialog (remembers its size as well)
  • Added text to clerify how to remove docklets
  • Updated Weather plugin to use Weather.com's XML feed, and added ability to switch to metric units.
  • Fix issue with folders as shortcuts not properly launching
  • Run-visibility option added for shortcuts (run minimized, maximized, etc)
  • Improved clock to have thicker hands
  • Option to add your own separators added
  • Fixed a large number of additional little glitches found from postings on the messageboards, thanks to tips from testers

even if you have 256. I know what it's like not having the money for things. But RAM is very cheap these days. If you are so worriedabout resource usage, buy a 128mb stick for 30 bucks, if that much.
