Planning for Object Desktop 2009 has begun and we want your help.

Got an idea for any of the products that are part of Object Desktop?

Is there any way that Cursor FX can be added to the OD Ultimate package?

Ability to animate folder glyphs ex........My Music

This is what I have

This is what I would love to have!!

I'd like to see the 'flyout' feature used on hovering over an inactive tab allowing clicking on an app in that (inactive) section's content.

I missed address on the 1st one

An expose'-like app - none that I have tried work well enough to use regularly.

+1 That would be über to have, I feel so naked without Exposé in Windows. PixelPirate hugs OS X

I'd like to see the 'flyout' feature used on hovering over an inactive tab allowing clicking on an app in that (inactive) section's content.

-sigh-

I'd like to see a Bootskins for Vista....so I can stop using Tuneup Utilities for the boot screen.....thanks.

Right-click .png .............. Please.
and a systray for DesktopX

Making all of the Object Desktop 2008 components fully support Vista would be my first suggestion, then worry about Object Desktop 2009.

- DesktopX:
   - fix already mentioned bugs (found in the numerous threads)
   - add System Tray support for Vista (so we can use DX as a complete desktop replacement)
   - add live preview Taskbar support (running tasks)
   - update UI to match the look/feel of Windowblinds
   - more plug-ins
   - add some support for 3-D objects (importing of .DXF, .3DS, .OBJ objects would be sweet)
   - add drawing objects (i.e. line, box, poly, circle objects so we can dynamically draw [object oriented] objects on the desktop)
   - add ability to export DX objects to Object Dock
   - add reflection object to make a 'live' reflection of a DX object

- Window FX:
   - make all of the effects work in Vista

- Logon Studio Vista:
   - make it work with Vista (SP1)

- Right Click:
   - Add .PNG (Alpha channel transparency) - Magic Pink sucks!
   - update the UI - current UI looks about 10 years old!

- Enhanced File Dialog:
   - make it work with Vista

This is what I would love to have!!

Although that looks neat Harley, Ive always thought special folder images just got in the way, even when made almost transparent and with XP being phased out...well.. need I say more.

Right-click .png .............. Please

Yes YEs YES!!!!!

PSD support for Skinstudio... PLEASE!!

Hellz yeah. Maybe using slices or layers to divide up the active/inactive images etc. PS layers = SKS layers. And if layers would support blend modes in SKS...omg, that would be icing on the cake.

Ability to click on a preview to navigate thru SKS instead of using tree. ( If not, re-organize\alphabetize treeview to be easier to navigate)

YES! PLEASE!

Republican for president.

Amen.

The Release of the Dynamic Dream SDK Please.

We have waited a long while for this.

Mike Huckabee as Veep

png support in Right-Click

Right-on, Lantec!!
And a general update of RC would be nice. I bet there a few peeps that could come up with the first 10 points in need of updateing

Point well taken!In application it would be more translucent But considering the fate of XP well guess your right!

But from a graphics end would it not be cool film reel spinning,speaker thumping,camers flash,magnifier zooming in etc.....

Oh well day late and a dollar short

Impulse is great for me, just drag and drop programs into it.
It would be nice if you had mirrors in the UK for Stardock our american cousins slow everything down in the evening here in the UK.

#1 WindowFX upgraded to work with Vista (Vistas animations are great, but you cannot alter or change them) #2 New feature for WindowFX - the ability to have the start Menu fade in and out when opening it and closing (notice how all animations are moving towards fading in and out - this would make the start menu open much more smoother. #3 As others have requested - a boot screen changer for VISTA.

Windows effect when open and closing explorer, kinda like WindowsFX.

Second: maybe a function to change windowsblind skin after a specific period of time.

For Icon Packager, the ability to save some specific icons regardless of the package. ( or do we have it already, just that i don't know of it ?)

Creating folder to a specific location in Keyboard Launchpad? I post this in the help section but was ignored.

vStyler: MSN skinning, i second it. Plus Firefox and Opera, a customized desktop is incomplete without it.

More flexible for custom log on screen? Bootskin ? (this one is not really important, since bootskin of Vista is decent.

Other than that, i'm good. Every penny i spent on ODesk has shown me its value

Either update objectbar so it can truly replace the Vista taskbar (i.e. do everything the Taskbar does, but better, right not it is a bit lacking in some areas), or integrate objectbar (or something like it) with the taskbar, i.e. the ability to add a appbar to the taskbar which offers me my own menu. Also, a proper Start menu replacement would be nice. The way programs install themselves in the All Programs menu makes it practically useless.

Not so much a feature but i want the wb,ip windows including the impulse app to be able to be resized just like any window can be instead of stuck to a min size as it is now.

WindowBlinds: ability to customize IE7 on xp just like vista - maybe firefox and MSN.

IconPackager: allow the package to change more icons like tray icons or programs icons.

DeskScapes: for xp!

A Windows Explorer alternative that allows you to browse through your files in CoverFlow and Piclens mode

would be great..

I only request 1 wish: The ability for IconPackager to remove the shortcut arrow on desktop.

And good Lord NOOOOO!!!!

Two more things: Animated icons upon launch - but not too complicated like IconX. A version of this program that works with XP and VISTA would be excellent: http://ubericon.com/ As someone else recommended, a version of Deskscapes for XP. Can it be done? Sure, plus more effects can be added like with this program : http://www.desktopfx.net/
