Object Desktop 2020 Wishlist thread

Published on November 13, 2019 By Frogboy In Object Desktop

This past year we've been recruiting developers to begin doing some major updates to Object Desktop over the next year.

First, I'm going to post what our thoughts are on what to focus on but then we want to hear what you would like to see updated. As always, our choices are determined by a combination of factors including technical challenge and market demand.

Definitely getting big updates next year

Fences

CursorFX

SoundPackager

Keyboard LaunchPad

DeskScapes

New Apps

We have three new programs for Object Desktop slated for release next year

Maybe getting big updates IF there's demand

Multiplicity

Tiles

Start10

On the bubble (for getting major update)

WindowBlinds (usage of desktop skinning is becoming less common and skinning has gotten more and more complicated). What would go into v11?

IconPackager (making icons today is a lot of work due to resolution and most people don't bother changing them anymore)

What are your thoughts?

What do you use Object Desktop for and what sorts of things do you want to see updated as well as what new things do you think people would like to see?

Let us know in the comments area.

Does nobody want Object Dock anymore? That was my favorite thing you guys did.... Object Dock and Fences are all I want.

Can we get a fix for the age old clock text on multiple monitors issue, please. How hard can it be?

Well, Object Dock is not nor has it ever been a part of Object Desktop (what this thread is about), but I think many users would like to see the dock updated and compatible with Windows 10. So let's wish for Object Dock or a dock to be included in OD 2020 then.

When Installing an update to WindowBlinds, I'd like the choice of excluding skins.

I totally agree!

Windows Active Desktop allowed html content to be displayed on the desktop.

It would be great to have the capability of displaying html content, for informational reporting, or messaging in a work environment.

I was quite p***d as I bought the 1st corporate/pro edition for 169 or 199$ (not sure anymore). Seeing that my multimeter/multiskin gadget still works on my decent Win10 system, but unable to change it without tricks (HYPER-V VM) makes me sad. I still have a gadget running on a customer server fetching statistics from access databases and displaying them on the desktop. I do changes on a VM, if needed. It had such great potential.

CursorFX is not part of ObjectDesktop which is why it isn't listed.
