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.

Buy now!

WOW! In less than a year (I purchased OD in 12/05) has Object Desktop ever grown and improved. Thanks everyone, Stardcock, WinCustomize all the WizOps, SysOps and HipOps; the developers, support people, hand holders, artists and supporters - its just keeps getting better. Screen shot to follow!

A very impressive release! This is decidedly not your pappy's ObjectBar.

Tinkering with all of the new features and stuff gives me plenty to do in the silent moments between my five-day-old's bouts of crying and hunger!

OB2 Rocks! I didn't even have to use the included styles and was able to make my own because I want to have a top-bar, right-sidebar in addition to my normal taskbar and left side Object Dock Quick Launch. My one issue is that I don't know how to change the size of DX widgets to fit nicely in the sidebar.

Object Desktop has never been more worth the money.

It was always well worth the money, but.. damn. How are you guys not going bankrupt?

Is there something that ObjectBar 2.0 can't do?!

Wonderful! I've been waiting for this for ages!

I've noticed that there are 3 'MyShadows' applications running though. Is this normal? Should there be only 1?

Sventekoz: Looks like you found a tiny glitch

The shadows show up in the task manager as 'running applications' - I can assure you there're not applications just single windows so really its 0 of them running

Windows just puts anything thats visible and has a window title in that list. Taken care of

I have tried the MacOS theme and discoverd a problem with the menu replacement: If there is a windw, containing a path, active and I select "File:New" from the objectbar, the menu with the new filetypes is empty. Maybe its because my WindowsXP is non-english.

Would love to use this, but it crashes constantly with no error.

No problems here, so far...even on dual monitors(a SD weakness)!
Seems to be alot more "stable" than previous versions...have ALWAYS had the problem of ObjectBar just "forgetting" that it was running, and simply quit responding after a while(w/o any other adverse effects).

Well done team!

SDC still refuses to install OB on a Win2K rig.

I've lost my patience with SD over this. For a year we've been told right in the SDC description of OB that it is "for Windows 2000 & XP". If it "should" work, change the SDC installer so we can try it.

This kind of carelessness & inattention to a problem that has been pointed out repeatedly for the last 6 months borders on deliberate & really frosts me. Sorry, but that's the way I see it. It may influence my ODN renewal decision come January.

That doesn't make sense. All SDC does is copy the files. What exactly happens?
