When I compared RocketDock to objectdock, there are good and bads.

Cons of ObjectDock

When puting the ObjectDock over the bottom taskbar is glitches and you try to klik something with zoom it

intterupts the theme and shows a nasty default/basic skin while you scroll over icons.

It does the same thing when you put windows near it.

Has trouble booting sometimes, It didn't boot today, gave me error and it froze, I have the plus version of 1.9

sort of unstable

Need plus to actually get some good usage and customization out of it.

Pros of ObjectDock

Nice looking themes that aren't same variations of boxy rectangle.

Tabs are F***ing awsome.(Plus only)

Good funtionality (Drag and drop shortcuts etc..) *same as rocketdock

Pop-open folders are awsome (Plus only) (sry)

Cons of RocketDock

Not many fancy dock themes that are out of the "rectangly box" dock

no mouse over effects just some basic ones like zoom which isn't as kool as object docks

Pros

Very reliable

Has all the features you'd expect

It's ****ing free!

That's my 2 cents

Yes I'm using the latest update.

Yes it has a free version, but doesn't have all the features which truly would make it superior.

The paid version has the features that surpass RocketDock. And it will always be like that.

RocketDock is Free and whatever feature put in will be free and will always be free.

I gave this a try and so far not too bad. I do have one gripe... it keeps shutting down for no reason. I'll be surfing on the web or playing a full screen game and when I'm done and go back to the desktop objectdock is gone sometimes. I check the processes and nothing there... pretty lame.

hmm, that's actuallly really odd. And you've used other docks and don't have that issue? What about previous versions of objectdock?

I would suggest clearing the cache at local settings\application data\stardock, and then reinstalling. Also try disabling any docklets. :)

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Save 44% on Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (1 User for 1-Year)

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
