jwmann Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalE Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Gah. Why doesn't ObjectDock come with the Object Desktop Suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ****ing free! Well there is a free version of ObjectDock as well. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argonite Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 RocketDock is officially off my computer, hello ObjectDock 1.9! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwmann Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Are you using the latest update from Stardock Central as you have the Plus version?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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryukava Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Is it possible if I want ObjectDock to behave in such a manner - autohide/off-screen when my applications are maximized but visible (i.e. always at the bottom) in the desktop? I've tried the various interaction options already but to no avail. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Dog Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 That's a specific option in OD Plus, but for the free version I use "hide in background when not in use". Not the same thing though, but it will keep it out of the way of windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X_Naruto Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I own objectdock plus and still prefer RK Launcher XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x9248 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 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.

Punio4 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 How can I drop a file into a folder on the dock? RocketDock has this option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest clearing the cache at local settings\application data\stardock, and then reinstalling. Also try disabling any docklets. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X_Naruto Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 This is my first time ever using Objectdock. I've used Rocketdock before and never had that problem. Ah, maybe it's just this version. Either way, might as well keep sticking wth what works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punio4 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Are you trying to get the system tray displayed in a tabbed or "zoomer" dock? Either one. On the normal one, nothing is displayed. If I add a system tray tab, nothing again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Dog Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Either one. On the normal one, nothing is displayed. If I add a system tray tab, nothing again... Do you have the latest updates through Stardock Central? I would suggest trying the beta release that is up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
