Wish: OD native STACKS finally.

Bug: When adding shortcuts or files from 'c:\program files' (on 64bit that is) OD always changes the shortcut to "c:\program files (x86)" that is really bugging.

While good to know, this is not a feature request.

What would make it better for you?

I was hoping the team might have updated the Stacks docklet to appear more like the Rocketdock one - the gird option is much better imo. Any chance of this in the future?

Stacks is a third-party docklet and not a Stardock one.

StandaloneStack2 is another third-party try this "StacksDocklet on steroids" checking here

I'm running 2.09 on Windows 8, one-week since OS install and a few days since I've installed ObjectDock.

 

I can't see how to permanently add a local folder to the "customize icon" function.

When I have the Choose Icon popup opened, I click on the downarrow next to the current folder path and one of the options is "Add folder to library", which then brings up a FILE chooser, with the only option is to choose image files.

How exactly does one permanently add a folder in order to speed up browsing to a local collection of icons/images?

Thanks!

Selecting an icon in the directory should addd it.

Thank you so much for your hard work with this product. I just plunked down the $5 for the official version. OD is a full taskbar + systray replacement for me and I completely adore it. A few small feature requests that would make this a killer app for me:

  • Middle click close for running tasks. 
  • Adjustable horizontal width between icons
  • Adjustable auto-hide delay timer (i.e. disappear hide after 5 seconds or 15 minutes)
  • Digital Clock Docklet (3rd party options are clunky and unreliable)
  • Minimize window visually to dock (instead of the hidden windows task bar)
  • Organize running tasks by group, without combining them (i.e. all open Chrome windows will be arranged together, while remaining separate icons on the dock)

Hope to see these in the new version!
