Stardock / Object Dock ?

[Cindy]

I'm just about to download this and try it in Windows 7, just wondering if any one is using Object Dock freeware ?

As with most dock applications, some of the functionality is missing under Windows 7. Stardock say they have a new version in the pipeline, but no release date yet.

Hi Quill

I have installed Object Dock (in Vista compat mode) and all seems to be working - its a nice app !

 

[Cindy]

In Stardock Objectdock i have changed about everything and used my own icons, i cant find anything that don't work within the app so i feel safe in saying if you want a great dock try Stardock freeware ! I

it ! .

i installed it and its running fine in win 7 64bit
didnt need to run it in Vista compat mode

One of the things that doesn't work with any dock I've tried under Windows 7, is right click functionality. If, for example, you try to run 'manage' from the right click menu on 'My Computer', assuming you have that as a dock item, gives what you can see in the screen shot.

So far I've tried:

RKlauncher
RocketDock
ObjectDock
Nexus
YZDock
XWindows Dock

Is there a FREE dock software that supports Tabbed Docks ?

 

[Quill]

If I remember correctly, objectDock has a tabbed interface you can choose. There's also sTabLauncher which is quite cool.

If you're into Yahoo Widgets you can also try Tab Launcher - Yahoo! Widgets.

There are others...

I have bought pro and it works fine on win7 x64, not sure about free

 

[Cindy]

Mmmmmmm Pro looks good ... got me thinking now

i have no moneys to buy software, got me thinking how am i gunna get W7 :S

 

[DjiXas]

Yeah, it looks and feels awesome in the top + clean desktop and start menu. It's like one time fee, 19 USD or so.

Unfortunately I can't afford to buy softwares
That's why I'm looking for a replacement for Winstep Xtreme's "Workshelf" (which is more like a tabbed dock) that is free

Hello Quill,

Do both of these work well with Windows 7 ?
And how about sTabLauncher does it have skins available ?

There is objectdock free as well

 

[copernicus]

I prefer taskbar, it comes bundled with windows 7 and it's free.

 

[edrik]

There is objectdock free as well

The free version does not support tabbed docks

Those on a limited budget could also take a look at rocket dock not sure about tabbed docks but iI know it is in continuous development and works fine with windows 7
