best dock?

[-outcast-]

Ive used em all and objectdock worked best on my system.

[mayamaniac]

whats the best dock (like in mac os X)?

--------------------

PI 133 mghz

32 mb ram

2 gb hd

With that system spec, you shouldn't be runnning a dock at all. :no:

But for those with faster systems, here's my comparisons on the 3 docks on another similar thread:

I have to add one more plus for moby, you have the option to run at High process priority which gives more CPU resource to it over other apps. This eliminates any slow downs. I haven't figured out how to make Y'z or OD to auto launch as High process priority, you have to do it manually everytime it boots up in the task manager. :( If any body know how to make Y'z auto launch at high process priority, plase post. Thanks. ;)

OD is better for me.. YZ is way a bit more slow and consumes much resources..

[QuarterSwede]

I would usually say Yz's Dock 0.8.3 but I just tried Objectdock again and am surprised at how fast it runs without consuming that much memory 10,000K. Yz's still only used around 3,000K but is dead as everyone knows :cry: MobyDock only uses 8,730K but I can't stand the way it looks. It runs fairly smoothly but doesn't have many options.

For now, I'll go with ObjectDock because it is still being developed.

ive only used Yz Dock, so ill say Yz Dock

[g3nu1n3]

Yz Dock, as it is not around so object dock now

[bozer]

I dont understand the appeal in having seperators in your dock. Why do you need them (what are they used for)? Am I missing something? :huh:

[Yo1]

Y'z is my favorite! :)  .........just wish the weather docklet worked!!

It does work dude ... :huh:

Read the help for "start" command..

For example if you do "start /high '<command>'" the command will be run at high prioriy.

I've never personally found Yzdock or Mobydock to be anything spectacular. I wasnt feelin the way they moved, that kind of...wide angle magnification but very slow, not even smooth really, but not slow like, my system is a POS or something. Just the way they were both coded I guess.

Latest ver. of mobydock gave me lots of problems, even with a dx9 card (check sig)

I've always loved objectdock, it has endless support, and is LIGHTNING fast, seperators and other things are excellent too. And seperators are nice for people who have tons of icons on their dock like me (30-35) and need to seperate...Audio Apps, Graphics Apps, Internet Apps, etc. etc. just to make it easier.

OD it is for me.

[JadeWolf324]

there are 2 posts for this...why is that....

[GotoLamia]

I have tried all three as well... I used OB for the longest time, MD keept crashing on my system :crazy: But Yz is the best for me it runs Faster... Smoother... and I just like it. OB is great expecaly if you want to custimize it.. there is such a big community behind it, but Yz gets my vote.

Chill out, be groovy,

P.S. If some one wants Yz PM me :rolleyes: *whistle*

[cyclingplatypus]

ObjectDock

[evo7]

I used all of them

md is pretty good but i dont like it

od is good too and im using it right now

i like yz dock because it uses very little ram usage

but i got a prob with yz, when im running full screen, i move my mouse to the place where my yz is, and the full screen program goes back to desktop.

i tried autohide... doesnt work.

and thats why i use od instead of yz

[PapiChuloNica]

Yzdock hands down

[jack_canada]

you dont have as much function in yz

[nazgul]

you dont have as much function in yz

Such as? I'm curious to know, always used YZ's Dock myself.

[Gee.B]

Before using MSN software dash i used to have SmartbarXp and Codename Dashboard...SmartBar Xp is pretty cool and certainly the most complete bar i have ever used

yZDock doesn't display tasks does it? None of the versions I've run do anyway.

Last time I checked yZ could only use PNGs whereas ObjectDock can also use icons.

There are a few others I believe but those two things stand. Not displaying running tasks would seem like a pretty big deal.

[dreamz Veteran]

there's a tasks docklet for y'z dock.

y'z dock can use both pngs and ico files.

[sciguy007]

yz dock is my favorite still, but without further development im sure object dock or moby dock will pull ahead of it.
