Features? Products? Changes?
Published on August 18, 2008 By Zargon In Object Desktop

Planning for Object Desktop 2009 has begun and we want your help.

Got an idea for any of the products that are part of Object Desktop?

  • Looking for a feature?
  • Looking for a new product?
  • Want something changed?

This is the thread for you!

I'd like to see the 'flyout' feature used on hovering over an inactive tab allowing clicking on an app in that (inactive) section's content.
-sigh-

Making all of the Object Desktop 2008 components fully support Vista would be my first suggestion, then worry about Object Desktop 2009.

- DesktopX:
   - fix already mentioned bugs (found in the numerous threads)
   - add System Tray support for Vista (so we can use DX as a complete desktop replacement)
   - add live preview Taskbar support (running tasks)
   - update UI to match the look/feel of Windowblinds
   - more plug-ins
   - add some support for 3-D objects (importing of .DXF, .3DS, .OBJ objects would be sweet)
   - add drawing objects (i.e. line, box, poly, circle objects so we can dynamically draw [object oriented] objects on the desktop)
   - add ability to export DX objects to Object Dock
   - add reflection object to make a 'live' reflection of a DX object

- Window FX:
   - make all of the effects work in Vista

- Logon Studio Vista:
   - make it work with Vista (SP1)

- Right Click:
   - Add .PNG (Alpha channel transparency) - Magic Pink sucks!
   - update the UI - current UI looks about 10 years old!

- Enhanced File Dialog:
   - make it work with Vista

This is what I would love to have!!


Although that looks neat Harley, Ive always thought special folder images just got in the way, even when made almost transparent and with XP being phased out...well.. need I say more.

Right-click .png .............. Please


Yes YEs YES!!!!!

PSD support for Skinstudio... PLEASE!!
Hellz yeah. Maybe using slices or layers to divide up the active/inactive images etc. PS layers = SKS layers. And if layers would support blend modes in SKS...omg, that would be icing on the cake.
Ability to click on a preview to navigate thru SKS instead of using tree. ( If not, re-organize\alphabetize treeview to be easier to navigate)
YES! PLEASE!
Republican for president.
Amen.

Point well taken!In application it would be more translucent But considering the fate of XP well guess your right!

But from a graphics end would it not be cool film reel spinning,speaker thumping,camers flash,magnifier zooming in etc..... Oh well day late and a dollar short

Impulse is great for me, just drag and drop programs into it.
It would be nice if you had mirrors in the UK for Stardock our american cousins slow everything down in the evening here in the UK.

#1 WindowFX upgraded to work with Vista (Vistas animations are great, but you cannot alter or change them) #2 New feature for WindowFX - the ability to have the start Menu fade in and out when opening it and closing (notice how all animations are moving towards fading in and out - this would make the start menu open much more smoother. #3 As others have requested - a boot screen changer for VISTA.

  Windows effect when open and closing explorer, kinda like WindowsFX.

 Second: maybe a function to change windowsblind skin after a specific period of time.
 
 For Icon Packager, the ability to save some specific icons regardless of the package. ( or do we have it already, just that i don't know of it ?)
 

 Creating folder to a specific location in Keyboard Launchpad? I post this in the help section but was ignored.
 
 vStyler: MSN skinning, i second it. Plus Firefox and Opera, a customized desktop is incomplete without it.

 More flexible for custom log on screen? Bootskin ? (this one is not really important, since bootskin of Vista is decent.

 Other than that, i'm good. Every penny i spent on ODesk has shown me its value
