stardock makes me veery happy :D

and to those of you who don't use anything from stardock....well, you should give this a try...it's well worth it and you have nothing to loose since it's freeware and will remain that way. and with all the support it's gaining, it doesn't look like development on this app will end any time soon.

i like that they added the ability to keep it on the bottom but y'z dock has had the same feature for al ong time and even better, even though i have autohide off and the dock is behind all my windows all i have to do is move my mouse to the bottom of the screen and it jumps on top. it makes a world of a difference.

For some reason I cannot get shortpopup.exe to work right with objectdock. It keeps displaying the contents of my objectdock folder instead of the contents of my mp3 folder. Works perfectly fine with Yz dock

because you need to set the correct "working folder" and in objectdock you can't do that

i have a couple of gripes and suggestions for this dock...

1. there is no sys tray function, unless you have your taskbar showing and it covers up the dock

2. uses way too many CPU cycles!! :angry: 90% on a AthlonXP 1800+; a dock that i made in html and a direct x call uses 20% :laugh:

3. one good suggestion would be the ability to dynamically change the position of the dock instead of just up, down, left and right

i know this is off topic, but is there a program out there that just shows the systray?

Anyone else having trouble getting this version to work? It won't work at all for me, just maxes out my CPU, the previous version was smooth. Gonna try a clean install, I upgraded the first time.

--edited A clean install fixed that, looks good now, I just gotta reconfigure it :D

Anyone have the problem that when you click on My computer, or shortcuts to folders, nothing happens. The icon bounces, but I have to click like 15 times in rapid succession to get the directory to open sometimes...

Had this problem with 0.75 too.

Anyone else?

i have that same problem...kind of annoying sometimes that you have to keep clicking for a folder to open up

I think this version is getting slightly worse.

They need to fix the above problems before adding more features.

Another issue : with window fx 2.0 and 2 users, after user 2 is logged on and fast user switching is enabled, the dock becomes transparent.

:huh:

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.

      yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53
