• Added support/fixes for Windows Vista. No more 'ghost' window, 32-bit icons are supported, etc.)
• Added a centralized place to store all your ObjectDock images, backgrounds, and other files. Look for your "ObjectDock Library" in your "My Documents" folder. .DockZip files will attempt to extract there automatically.
• Added Search options to image browser. It will search globally across your ObjectDock Library folders (under My Documents) as well as the ObjectDock program folder and subfolders across your ObjectDock folder and subfolders.
• Added "Reserve edge of screen" ability for zooming docks
• Added improved zoom algorithm for smoother painting.
• Added Docklet crash protection technology, which helps preventing anything from happening to your dock even if a 3rd party docklet that you've downloaded experiences a problem.
• Added tabbed dock resizing help. Grabbing the resizing-edge of the dock has been made significantly easier. The resize arrow is now shown for the full area between the edge of the content and the edge of the dock itself, not just for a small border within it.
• Added ability for tabbed docks to auto-switch tabs when you activate a dock with your mouse. Look in the advanced dialog to enable this.
• Added - If on any kind of dock you hover over a window in a taskbar while dragging, that window will come to the foreground.
• Added - In tabbed docks, if at any time you hover over the plus/minus signs while dragging/dropping, the dock will scroll for you so you can find the right spot for your entry
• Added - Drag & drop onto target enabled in tabbed docks
• Added - Drag & drop onto shortcuts now allowed when dropping onto an EXE.
• Added - Enhanced drag-and-drop-on-targets so it behaves more seemlessly in zooming docks
• Added - Tabbed docks now auto-rotate when you drag them to an adjacent edge of the screen
• Added - Reloading icons when current icon package changes
• Added - Ability for autohidden zooming docks to show themselves for X number of seconds before autohiding when they first load, at which point they wont autohide still unless the mouse has been moved. This helps prevent forgetting where a dock is on startup...if the computer is started while the user is away, when they return the dock will still be there until they move the cursor.
• Added - The config dialog for applications (taskbar items) now allow you to drop an image file onto them to set their image, like the rest of the config dialogs in the program.
• Reenabled ability for tray icons to have their original icon show small in the corner even if you've customized its icon. Click and hold a tray icon to get at this option.
• Always on bottom docks will now come to the front when click-activated.
• Always on bottom docks will now no longer steal focus from the foreground application unless clicked on.
• Removed Yahoo from search docklet
• Removed MSN docklet
• Fixed issue with trouble double clicking tray icons
• Fixed "foreground" background support
• Fixed issue where if user put a registry path (e.g. ".html") as a shortcut link the link wouldn't work properly when some browsers e.g. firefox were set as the default.
• Fixed issue where separators on tabbed docks could not be dragged (and thus moved or removed)
• Fixed major issue involving dragging existing items, in which animations would begin to heavily lag and ObjectDock would become temporarily unresponsive on drag and drop operations that are not completly quickly.
• Fixed issue with the top 64 pixels of fully-zoomed icons not being clickable when zoomed to a full 192 pixels.
• Fixed issue with Always-On-Bottom zooming docks, where the dock would flicker some whem moving to the front and back again.
• The Calendar docklet for ObjectDock has a grey outline around it (as if the bounding box of the docklet were not transparentized)
• Fixed issue where some rare tray icons who have active popups as their main window, would become inaccessable when you open them via the tray.
• Fixed issue with always on bottom docks where configuring some items would be a challenge as the diloags would keep going into the background once the mouse left the dock. Instead, the dock is not allowed to move to the back when config dialogs are open.
• Fixed issue with the background-skinning of zooming docks attached to the left or right side of the screen. The caps on the top and bottom would not always be the proper size.
• Fixed issue where if there were no items on a zooming dock, its background would have a strange behavior and not display properly
• Fixed dock issue where if it were set to be always-on-bottom, when you did a drag-and-drop it would snap back to the background on release.
• Fixed issue of authiding zooming docks not immediatly re-hiding after you configure them and close the config dialog.
• Fixed issue where systray would exhibit a "shift right" graphical glitch when a program is exited that existed in the tray.
• Fixed rock/swing/glow alternate mouseover effects not working properly when no background is in use by the dock
• Fixed issue where if you were using a tile background and using a rock/swing/glow effect, the tiles could sometimes quickly disappear during a mouseover
• Modified some option text for hopefully improved clarity
