I used it... I can't get it off, it's not very good. I prefer the other docks.

For those of you who were looking for one. A quick search finds a stacking extension that works with rocket dock, object dock, RK launcher, and Y'z launcher.

In the beginning. Object dock was using 2k while rocketdock was using 7k. Whenever i open something, objectdock increases memory usage.

While rocketdock doesn't increase that much. After browsing in FF for a while something strange happened. Objectdock decreased to around 2k again while rocketdock stayed at 7k. Some other observations i have made is that objectdock opens windows marginally faster and feels more responsive than rocket.

Also has easier customization. It's easy to find rocket themes but for object you have to search this really hard to use website IMO. Upon further observation, objectdock is still at 4k while rocketdock is using 7k. With FF open and notepad, and the process manager. Freaky.

Icon quality seems about the same although objectdock seems a little sharper while rocketdock's icons seem a little dull(set both on high quality). Went to check it again after a while and rocketdock is still at 7k with object dock has gone to 3k. I think the results are conclusive. Objectdock wins. Performed with same icons, skin, settings.

I know, I just can't figure out how to make it work.

EDIT: Calvin, are you using the paid or free version of Objectdock?

Calvin · 12-31-2007, 04:45 PM

I'm using the free version.

Ooh, well my computer showed that OD used more resources than RD. Dunno. but it did.

Calvin · 12-31-2007, 04:57 PM

For me object is still using 4k while rocket is still at 7k. Dunno what you guys did wrong. *shrugs* Another observation i made is that when programs want to be hidden (like when uttorent minimizes) rocketdock ignores that and shows it as minimized while objectdock doesn't' show it.
