Like I said previously, that version won't ever be officially released because it was rejected for quality assurance reasons. It's much much slower than .51 or .60 (which I have). While you're getting features early, you're paying a significant performance penalty for them which 0.60 won't have.

ObjectDock won't ever have system tray or start menus and the like in them (it's a dock).

ObjectBar already handles system trays:

ObjectBar

There's even links to where you can get system tray objects for ObjectBar on the ObjectDock page.

Trust: Don't thank me, Thank Jeff. He's doing this in his spare time.

Regarding memory "consumption", don't trust everything the task manager tells you.

Do you really think, for instance, that Internet Explorer uses 40 or 50 megs of RAM? The problem is that on NT OSes, shared DLLs get charged to every process using them even though they're only in RAM once.

ObjectDock makes use of a lot of shared DLLs in the system. The real question should be, does it make your system swap more? Does it slow down your systme? The answer to these questions should be no.

I must say that,

I too was an Object dock hater. I think it comes from people's bad experiences with stardock. The fact that window blinds had some poorly optimized skins back in the day and it was slow on 98 and 2000, before uxtheme, and from the fact that windowfx2 STILL doesnt' work correctly on Nvidia graphics cards.

But I have to say that Object Dock (as of .55alpha) is the best dock.

Hopefully Auto Hide will be added....
