Software update: ObjectDock 1.2

Stardock has just released ObjectDock version 1.2. This program is the Windows counterpart of Apple’s Dock, in which shortcuts to applications, games and tools can be put. If you move the mouse over an icon, it lights up as it were. The program is available in a free and a paid Plus version, the latter of course offering more options. The differences are on this page to find. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:

Version 1.2 Change Log:

• New smoothness setting is now available for the zooming effect! Combines the ultra-fast mouseover animation with gradual entry/exit animation.
• Redesigned “Appearance Tweaks” properties tab for zooming docks.
• Settings “Backup” system in case of crashes rewritten, strengthened.
• Added options to temporarily disable Docklets (for troubleshooting). Look in the Advanced options (Plus) or in the Dock Contents tab (Free).
• Fixed jumpy zoom animation when dragging within a zooming dock.
• Fixed error message on startup for users with no C:.
• Fixed issue wherein upon exiting a zooming dock, if the cursor passes over an item’s title the dock would take a step in the reverse direction.
• Fixed issue wherein the dock animation could get stuck in the “zoomed” position after the cursor has left the dock.
• Fixed conflict between IconPackager 3 and ObjectDock, which prevented dragging of icons, and at times would prevent program from loading. IconPackager 3.0a also corrects this.
• Adjusting the tab alignment will now take effect immediately.
