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

Are you using the latest update from Stardock Central as you have the Plus version?

It's ****ing free!

Well there is a free version of ObjectDock as well. :)

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. :)

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
