A new version of ObjectDock, ObjectDock 1.5 has just been released. Just in case you are not familiar with this software, let me tell you what it does.

ObjectDock is a program that enables users to organize their programs and running tasks into a dock. ObjectDock enables users to have more control over how they organize their desktop. Rather than have a bunch of icons on the desktop, these icons can be put into docks. ObjectDock can also be used to replace the Start bar entirely freeing up valuable screen real-estate.

Some of its features include:

• Standard docks
• Highly flexible visual appearance
• Mouse-Over Zoom effects
• Easy replacement of icon images
• Optional Start Bar replacement

In case you are wondering “what on earth is a dock?” Don’t sweat it!

A dock is simply a bar that can be set to the edge of your screen with a background and a row of icons. The function of a dock is to bring applications and other various shortcuts to you in an organized fashion relieving your desktop of clutter.

So if you want to give your system a new look you may want to check it out!

You can either go for the free version or the PLUS version. ObjectDock Plus has extra features like Multiple Docks on screen at once, Multi-Monitor Support, system tray support, tabbed docks, hot spot activation etc. but it’s not free.

But if you don’t dig any of the versions for whatsoever reason, you can check out RocketDock, it’s a similar program and it’s free.
