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....

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
