Object Dock vs. Windows Taskbar

I admit: Object Dock looks cool. But coolness aside, I don't see the point of Object Dock when I have the Windows Taskbar. Why have both?

I can understand using Object Dock instead of the Taskbar. But if I hide the Taskbar, I lose the System Notification Area (the 'tray'.) So the Taskbar has to stay.

What then is the point of Object Dock? Is it mostly about the coolness factor?

Hello All! I just recently downloaded the trial version of fences to give it a try and I really like the concept and implementation and would like to keep it permanently, but there's a bug that's driving me up the wall. If I can't get it fixed, I'm going to pass on paying for this program.

The problem is this: When my computer reboots, all of the icons in my fences resets to medium sized icons, although I have them set to the smaller "classic" sized icons. Also, all of my fenc...

≪ Previous: Fence Icons Reset on Computer Reboot

ObjectDock is pretty flexible, and there are more ways to use ObjectDock than just having it sit at the top or bottom of your screen. One of the big advantages of having ObjectDock is the ability to have multiple docks on your desktop along with the ability to have tabbed docks. With ObjectDock you can also "mix" docks, and by that I mean you can have a tabbed dock and a "zoomer" dock on the same desktop which allows for even more flexible setups.

Yup, just like it says, I wish that those flaming idiots queuing for days on end to get an iPhone 6 would be charged with loitering or something and taken away under the vagrancy act.

What's more, those bastages at Apple should have released it during Winter... so the twerps sleeping out overnight were freezing their tushes off and were more than grateful for a nice warm cell [with a toilet] to bunk down in.

I figure it would save them alot of money as well, cos vagrancy is just a misd...

Hi, so I am using the fearomone skin, but it has all the edit boxes black, as well anything text related such as microsoft word pages. It makes writing papers annoying because the default font color doesn't contrast very well. I tried experimenting in skin studio but couldn't find the specific thing I need to change. Could someone tell me how to make it back to white?

it only happens on the desktop. not over windows

disable fences and move mouse around desktop screen and problem doesn't show.

enable fences again and move mouse around desktop screen and disk usage appears.

ShadowFX is the newest desktop customization app from Stardock that gives you the ability to add drop shadows to your windows in Windows 8. It’s very easy to use, just select which shadow you want from the drop-down list, and you’re good to go.

ShadowFX is also easy to customize, and making your own shadows is very simple. You can create your own shadows to use for yourself, and you can submit them and share with others on WinCustomize.com.

≪ Previous: Scorpion - New TV Show on CBS

This bug has been reported a long time ago, however I'm still suffering issues.

When you are running multiple graphics cards, your windows will become invisible when you move them IF and ONLY IF the window move was initiated on a monitor running on a non-primary graphics card.

Bug confirmed on a separate machine with a different hardware configure. It seems to be universal.

This, really, is a PITA. Is there going to be any fix for this?

We are going to start to see the Windows 9 preview fairly soon according to various reports.

We've heard the rumors of supposed features and user interface changes, so we can only wait and see what really to expect in Windows 9.

The real question is, what do you want to see changed or added in Windows 9?
