ObjectBar 2.0 Released!

The wait is finally over

Published on September 19, 2006 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

At long last, ObjectBar 2.0 is available now on Stardock.com . This upgrade is free to existing customers.

ObjectBar is a program that can replace or extend the Windows taskbar. It provides the functionality of the Start bar while adding a vast array of new features and benefits. Because it is so flexible and skinnable, it can be made to look like any sort of toolbar, menu, dock, etc. found on any OS, or it can be used to create something entirely new, giving you a level of personalization on the Windows desktop interface.

This new version comes with several different looks to choose from, and each one can be personalized based on your needs.

This versatile and useful program is only $19.95, or can be purchased as part of the Object Desktop Suite of desktop customization programs for only $49.95.

How do I re-size a Bar..??

I loaded the Vista side bar, and it's W I D E
Takes up 1/4 of the screen...

I've looked all over, but see no place to 'resize' it?

Click and drag from edge of side bar.

I also seem to have a problem on a Dual Monitor system....

If I create a horizontal Bar, Auto hide it and Dock to edge, it snaps back to the Primary monitor.
If I un-auto hide it, and drag it to the other monitor it stays, and sits on the top (as I want it)
But as soon as I enable Auto hide, it snaps back to the other monitor...

But I Love this app!
Keep up the Excellent work!

Ahh.. for the Re-sizing of a Side Bar. It only re-sizes if its on the Primary Monitor...
I can get it to re-size, but it's still rather wide.... I'll keep playing around with it.

I have it on the secondary Monitor..
Maybe I will disable the 2nd monitor and see if that helps..

(I quess more testing of Multiple montiros is in store..)

Click and drag from edge of side bar.

You may have to right-click on theme manager and choose Skin. check the radio buttons in the middle.

that did it... (for the most part)

If I un dock and drag to the primary monitor, then resize it there, then drag to the 2nd monitor and Dock it, it's just what I want!

I am running it on Vista and I have replaced the god awful Windows Sidebar with Vista Bar and how much better is it? Ummm.....well, Windows Sidebar is Accrington Stanley (who? exactly!) and Vista is Brazil. Or to our american cousins, WS is George Bush and Vista Bar is Abraham Lincoln! Does it run on Windows 2000? It says in runs on 2000 and XP but i tried it before with the pre-release versions and it said it needed XP. I will try it today and work. NOTE TO STARDOCK : Well worth the wait!

UPDATE: It would appear that I got a little carried away with this on Vista. My DX widgets dont seem to work. THey just dont show at all. The DX widget tht came with Vista Bar works absolutely fine, but any other one does not

I'm hoping its because I'm running Vista and not XP and that Stardock are looking into this phenomenon as we speak. DX does work fine on Vista though
