One last groovy bit about ObjectDock that’s worth mentioning is the different themes. Like any geek, I found a fix for the clock and not only did the 3rd party digital clock docklet tell the time and date, it has a functioning alarm and fully customizable font. ObjectDock lets you customize the skin for most docklets, but even if you change the skin on the clock it is still as analog. Really? Give me digital baby! One of my main beefs with the docklets is the analog style clock. The weather docklet is by far my favorite, and I just had to share a screenshot of it below: Fortunately the online community is rather helpful and has created a huge variety of 3rd party docklets you can download and install ObjectDock even recommends visiting to download more. Unfortunately you only get 6 docklets, and 3 Windows docklet links –which for me isn’t really enough. Docklets are a drop-down with your weekly forecast, clocks, calendars, web search, and even a link to the Windows start menu. My favorite thing about of ObjectDock is the docklets. Unfortunately, Aero-Peek is a premium feature from the paid edition.Īmong some of the other advanced options, you can adjust performance settings although they shouldn’t be an issue unless you’re running ObjectDock on an extremely old PC. If you want to replace the taskbar, the “Hide the Windows Taskbar” is a must-check button. The options > settings tab has a few groovy options that aren’t enabled by default. Just remember, almost all the Blue text is a link as shown below. What I love is how almost all the options are listed out and easy to understand. The dock is easily customized from the Options Home screen.
Object dock has more customization than a car pimped by Xzibit. When I first started my testing, it didn’t take me long before I decided to replace my Taskbar altogether for the ObjectDock. If you don’t like the default position (it’s at the bottom like a Mac), ObjectDock can snap to any of the four sides of your screen. Much like the Windows taskbar, as you open apps on the bar, they will automatically appear on ObjectDock, and then disappear when closed unless you pin them.
The visual style of the dock matches up with the iOS (iPhone, iPad) icon dock similar to Rocketdock as well. Unfortunately, the icon for the pinned webapps isn’t very good once they get enlarged to fit the dock. When you first install ObjectDock, it will replicate all of the pinned icons on your windows Taskbar (handy).
