ObjectDock Beta update now available

Includes revamped weather feed, and x64 system tray / start menu launcher support

Published on August 7, 2007 By Dr W - Fences Support In Docks

A new ObjectDock Plus beta is now available!

Open up Stardock Central to get the goods for the updated ObjectDock Plus, make sure to have "Show prerelease versions" checked. v1.90f I believe is the version number in SDC.

Main features of this update beyond a variety of small bug/glitch fixes include:
-Use of the new weather feed. More reliable, always up to date and now with super-robust location lookup. *Any* location that shows up with accuweather now works with ObjectDock

-x64 version of Windows now can make use of the System Tray and Launch Start Menu functionalities of ObjectDock

Hah ah just a little thing. I should probably try and remember to update the skinning doc regardless. Anyways, the update to the skinning format: "TabOverlapLeft/TabOverlapRight and TabContentBufferLeft/TabContentBufferRight can now be defined per-background-position as well as of globally for a skin. Previously, they could only be defined globally, which could cause a problem if graphics were rotated say for tabs when on the right side of the screen."

So when's the DesktopX widget integration coming ?!?

I only just discovered the feature in RC and it's got to be the way to go for OD+ also surely ?!?

Hi,I have a slight problem when trying to add a shortcut to the windows defrag utility to OD.
Once the shortcut is added and I click on it the windows cmd box briefly appears then disappears,but the defrag utility does not open.Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
