Calling up the Vista Start Menu in DesktopX Stardock Forums

Is is possible to call up the Start Menu with a DX object? OD+ has a built-in docklet that will call up the Vista start menu, but a DX object does not seem to have the option to change its type to something with that functionality. I can change the object from 'layer' to 'shortcut' but have been unable to find a way to make a 'shortcut' send a keystroke (i.e. the 'Windows' key) that would call up the Start Menu, like pressing the Windows key would. Is th

[quote]The thing is . . and I love updates as much as the next guy . . that you bought version x. There's no need to become "concerned" about no updates because really . . you got what you bought.[/quote] With OD+ I would agree 100%. With Object Desktop, that's a different story because I pay a yearly fee to receive updates for the components. Granted, there have been some pretty good updates (like with WB that you mentioned) and some kick ass additions like Descapes. But like I sai

Several requests for OD update information have been made here. How about some news? Is Stardock still actively developing OD or not? If so, what new features can we look forward to and what kind of timeline can we expect? Please let us know something.

De-Activating Desktop X objects in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Yeterday I asked how to use Objectdock to activate a DesktopX object or Widget and got the answer...by creating a shortcut to the Widget .exe or the object's .dxpack file - actually it was a 'stupid' question and the solution was simple. Now I need another answer to solve my problem, how to make the same link deactivate (or hide) the object or Widget if it is already open. I'm trying to get the functionality of being able to 'toggle' the DX object on/off with t

Live Reflections in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Stardock - Are there any plans to add live reflections to ObjectDock? I use Desktop X to make ObjectDock reflections but they are static and a pain to update when you add or delete an item from a dock.

Bug Report: Virtual Desktop & Object Dock Wallpaper Bug in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

I installed Virtual Desktops last night after the beta was released, adding support for Vista. I have multiple docks positioned at the top of the screen. After adding the Virtual Desktop toolbar to my Windows Vista taskbar,the section of the wallpaper underneath my docks "shifts" over about 1/4". The shift occurs on the boundary of the reserved space - defined by my docks. It makes it look like the wallpaper is tiled at this location This is samll, but very annoying bug.

OD 1.9 Plus - Another Annoying Bug in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

I have 3 tabbed docks, positioned at the bottom of the screen, set as 'drawers', hidden off screen when a window is maximized. When they are completely off screen (at the bottom), moving the mouse arrow to the very top of the screen (corresponding to the dock's location at the bottom of the screen) will make the dock(s) appear.
