ObjectDock

First of all, I have rewrote my review on ObjectDock, since the first time I first posted it here. If you came here only for the free version, skip this paragraph and go to the next one. I am adding this up here, for the paid ObjectDock Plus. I decided to get the paid one for W10, due to a specific bug the free one had for me, and I have to say it is great. It seems to be really lightweight and if anything it is cheap to buy. I have been using it for over a year now and seems quite stable, with the only bugs being some really rare crashes (had 2 of them for this 1+ year I have been using it) and the Stacks docklet having a peculiar bug, where if you open a Stack docklet and while it is open you click another docklet, the stacks will remain stuck open, until you restart objectdock. Obviously the only reason I am even bothering with Plus, is because it works still with Stacks docklet. Adding it a 5th star, as Plus has really been great for me and I have have a great time using it.

Free Version
As I was looking for a free replacement for Rocketdock, I realized there are just not many free docks to be found, if any. Most of them have been discontinued and Nexus is too basic, lacking the all important Stacks feature (for free).

Objectdock has been something I have used many years ago, but then as time passed I found myself using Rocketdock instead. I do not remember why that happened, but I remember I never paid for Objectdock and yet I used to use it. Back in time, that made me look into older versions and as it seems my memory was right; version 1 of Objectdock is free !!! By now though, I found that you can actually get a free v2 of ObjectDock on MajorGeeks. Ignore that MajorGeeks marks it as Shareware. You just download it from one of the two MajorGeeks download links (the Author's site link does not work, since probably it was removed from there) and it will be the free version =)

Like the Plus version that I use, the free v2 seems to be working perfectly with Stacks v2 ! The installation of stacks is exactly the same as Rocketdock (place StackLib.dll in the main folder and Stacks folder in the Docklet folder), and it works like a charm.

If you require proof, you can check some screenshots here that I took with the free version of v1: http://imgur.com/a/pHghC

As a sidenote, I mention on the first paragraph that the reason I got on W10 the Plus version, is because of a specific bug both v1 and v2 free versions had, at least for me. The bug for me is that if I place the bar on the left side of my screen and make it to autohide, when I move the mouse pointed to the leftmost side of my screen, it will either not open the drawer at all, or it will glitch out and start open and close the drawer in a fast pace. It feels as if in order to open it the mouse cursor needs to be a couple pixels away from the left end of the screen. Mind you, I have Dual Monitor setup, so that might be another reason. Afar from that very specific bug that exists only on the free version, the rest are exactly like the paid version. I do not really use or care for the features that the Plus version offers, or the extra drawers you can get with it. So if it either does not bother you or you do not get this bug, then the free is perfect for you =)
