ObjectDock is a program that adds a skinnable dock to your Windows desktop. It is one of the most popular desktop enhancement programs available.
ObjectDock 1.9 is such a major update over 1.5 that it could have been called ObjectDock 2.0. In fact, there was a lot of internal debate on this with 1.9 being the compromise versioning!
Highlighted Changes
There's so many new things in ObjectDock 1.9 that it's hard to narrow things down to a handful. And even the above list isn't complete! Here are some of our favorite changes:
It's Faster!
Probably one of the first things some users will notice is how much faster ObjectDock 1.9 is. That's because the underlying engine was largely rewritten to take advantage of advances in OS and video card technology. It's faster while using less memory.
It's Prettier!
Another thing users will notice, especially long-time users, is how many cool new backgrounds and icons come with it. The default look has been changed, the default icons changed, and a ton of artwork from the WinCustomize.com community (with permission) has bee included.
One other note about that screenshot, ObjectDock supports backgrounds on a per item basis!
It's more useful!
[img]ObjectDock is popular not just because it's so visually cool and pretty but because it is very useful. Docklets that support searching and the ability to display running tasks as part of your dock are examples of why ObjectDock isn't just a cool program, it's a very useful one.
ObjectDock 1.9 includes a new weather docklet that on a single click will display the 5-day forecast.
