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!

Either update objectbar so it can truly replace the Vista taskbar (i.e. do everything the Taskbar does, but better, right not it is a bit lacking in some areas), or integrate objectbar (or something like it) with the taskbar, i.e. the ability to add a appbar to the taskbar which offers me my own menu. Also, a proper Start menu replacement would be nice. The way programs install themselves in the All Programs menu makes it practically useless.

Not so much a feature but i want the wb,ip windows including the impulse app to be able to be resized just like any window can be instead of stuck to a min size as it is now.

WindowBlinds: ability to customize IE7 on xp just like vista - maybe firefox and MSN.
IconPackager: allow the package to change more icons like tray icons or programs icons.
DeskScapes: for xp!
A Windows Explorer alternative that allows you to browse through your files in CoverFlow and Piclens mode
would be great..

I only request 1 wish: The ability for IconPackager to remove the shortcut arrow on desktop.

Republican for president.


And good Lord NOOOOO!!!!

Two more things: Animated icons upon launch - but not too complicated like IconX. A version of this program that works with XP and VISTA would be excellent: http://ubericon.com/ As someone else recommended, a version of Deskscapes for XP. Can it be done? Sure, plus more effects can be added like with this program : http://www.desktopfx.net/

I don't know if this would be possible with DX or maybe an enhancement of its own, but I would like to have individual desktop icons, I could place anywhere, with flyout capability without having to add say 5 seperate docks and tweak the positioning to get them where I want them. If you have a full OD that spans the lenght of your screen and have a flyout on either end, depending on how many apps are in the flyout, some of the icons and one of the arrows are lost off the desktop. Also, having 1 icon placed as a flyout, it may also be possible to have a 360 degree flyout which circles the entire icon a-la the windows 7 style circular dock I keep seeing. Can you say sweet??

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)
Better updating when making changes in SKS 6 / Copy and paste support SKS 6

Firstly, I'd like to see an Object Desktop logo that actually makes sense. Putting reflections on every inch of a logo doesn't make it "Web 2.0", especially when the reflections don't make any realistic sense. Secondly, please for the love of God update WindowFX for Vista. You have great D3D powered desktop and we still don't have "compiz" like effects. If anyone can pull off a "compiz" for Windows, its Stardock.

More free Master skins, fix broken things in WB, add a full code editor to SKS6 (it's useful sometimes when something is SKS is broken!) Update Object Edit! Adding CursorFX Plus in to the mix might be nice too.

Compiz equivalent, aka a major upgrade to WindowFX. Making it work on Vista would be a start.

i think the first thing to do, is finish updating apps for vista, that had release dates of last year. lets not go crazy adding all kinds of new stuff when several of the old apps don't work yet on vista properly

Systray support for the ODNT Launchpad(and fix said Launchpad so DX builder mode does not crash when launching from it)please.

XP being phased out? Why? 35% of the people who bought Vista have downgraded to XP. I have no intentions of switching to Vista, ever!
