Anyone using Objectdock?? Does is use so much RAM?

I never used it but I heard that it's really heavy on consumption of system resources.

When I used it the **** thing took up lots of resources....

o that's bad.. i was thinking of installing it but now i don't. lol

thanks!

i recommend rocket dock wich has more skills than object dock.. the only problem is that you only can run once of it.. the good news is that it consumes very low resources of RAM see ya!

ObjectDock only uses 1% of my ram, I love it. Here is a set of Dock/Folder icons i created using Paint.net and IcoFx. Merged format of 48x48 and 256x256 for use in XP and Vista as dock icons or shortcut folders on the desktop

Get them at Wincustomize

thanks for sharing

I'm using RocketDock...first of all it uses a minimum on resources and second it is better as ObjectDock :icon_cool:

DM could you please use another font color it's very hard to read on some themes if you don't use a dark theme here :icon_rolleyes:

I'm sorry, using the Grafitti skin here, and it looked good on the dark backgrounds, will refrain from customizing post font colors in the future.

From what I remember, Object dock never took up too much RAM. I formated my computer so now I dont have it, but this isnt a real change in RAM/CPU usage here.

REMEMBER: The more docks/icons in dock/effects you have, the more CPU and RAM it will consume.

I haven't used object dock. I was always concerned about resource usage. I have been using rocket dock(thanks to Ricktendo64) and I love it. It seems to respond faster than clicking on system icons directly. I dont notice any resource usage, but not having used object dock I may be comparing apples to oranges here. :welcome:

I have used ObjectDock pretty much since it came out, and have never had a problem with it. I jumped at the chance to upgrade to the Plus version, and it makes my work so much easier with an organized desktop.

Resource usage is very low. I recommend trying it out.

My vote for RocketDock. It can use the same themes as ObjectDock. Fun and easy customizations.

I don't like the objectdock's secondary dock (whatever thats called)

I'm sticking with Rocket Dock ... like it much better then Object Dock :icon_cool:

i am running objectdock 1.9free (no tabs), consumes about 5 MB, has kkmenu and stacksdocklet...also have RK Launcher and Y'z dock, and both use almost same resources. I guess it's a matter of taste, and the number of items docked.
