Version: 1.9
ObjectDock is a nice looking app that looks nice whether or not a system has the memory to process it. It makes me feel like I am on my Mac. It is easy to configure with an easy to read interface that even the new comers to this such app can understand. For a simple program it
offers a sleek look that adds a little flare to the most boring of desktops.
