Stardock Unveils Enhanced ObjectDock with Support for Windows 10/11

from Stardock Forums

The popular docking utility now features high-resolution display support, 64bit architecture, and integration with the Object Desktop suite for a modernized desktop experience. 

Get ObjectDock  |  Get Object Desktop

Stardock has announced today that ObjectDock has been enhanced to support Windows 10 and Windows 11.  The updated version of ObjectDock is available today as a stand-alone application and as part of the award-winning Object Desktop suite. 

With this new update, ObjectDock now has support for high resolution displays, support for UWP applications, improvements to animations like Zoom, and the app is now 64bit. Along with additional under-the-hood improvements, ObjectDock is ready for the modern desktop. 

 

 

ObjectDock makes it easy to access frequently used applications, shortcuts, and even the Start menu from an animated dock. With a wide array of customization options and styles like tabbed docks, it’s easy to personalize the experience to your workflow. 

“ObjectDock is a classic Stardock application, and we are thrilled to be able to modernize the app so that it supports the latest versions of Windows” said Brad Sams, General Manager of Stardock Software. “And with ObjectDock now included in Object Desktop, the best value for accessing all of our productivity applications gets even better” 

With the modernization of the application, we did have to sunset some minor features that were tied to legacy components of Windows that have since been deprecated. But the core functionality of the app has been streamlined and with the new support for higher resolution displays, ObjectDock has never looked better. 

 

The updated version ObjectDock is available today for $9.99 or $3.99 as an upgrade. You can learn more about ObjectDock on the app page or explore all the applications in Object Desktop here.

Those walls were never posted in the Gallery, so no one will be able to send you a link to them.

I hope this is a good place to post this.

I'm glad for the upgrade and have purchased it and installed on two of my computers (both Win11).  The first already had the old version of Object Dock and the upgrade went fine.  However, the other computer was a clean install and the application icons on the tabs do not display the icon title below the icon like is the way on the computer with the upgraded legacy version.  Instead, as I mouse over the icons the title pops up below each icon in a very large font.  On this computer, the tabs look like the example screen shots at the top of this post where the icons have no text labels.   So, which is correct for V3 - icons with text label immediately below like with the earlier versions of Object Dock, or without any labels other than a pop up version seen only when mousing over an icon?  Thank you.

I checked, the current V3 version do not have option to "show/hide names" under icons. Please refer screen shot below. The screenshot was taken from ODv2. But this menu item do not appear on ODv3. Perhaps when you installed over ODv2. Some function did not get remove properly.

Thank you,

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, need to know more on your issue and system.

  1. Your Windows full version and OS build number.
  2. The manufacturer and model number of your mouse.
  3. What special mouse key you're having issue with? What is the function for this special button does?
  4. Do you have special software to program that special mouse button to a special feature to. Need to know the name of this software. For example Logitech use it "Logitech Option" to program its mouse button.

Thank you.

Hello,
It might be conflict with your controlling software. I don't have this mouse to test it out. However, I have forwarded your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

Hi , unfortunately for me the buttons backward, and forward returned to the previous behavior (it doesn't work when Stardock is loaded)I'm not sure if I did something that caused the mouse to do that behavior. I still need your help

I believe you're having conflict issue with your X-Mouse Button Control. Since I don't use this application on my mouse, I can not test it on my system. I am using Logitech mouse. Logitech has it own software for reassigning mouse button. I use Logitech Options and it work with ObjectDock without issue.

Thank you,
