I have a question.. I am testing this out before I buy it. I love it so far. I did all my icons animated and it looks pretty sweet. The question I have is.. Is there anyway just to use the icons I made to display a quck preview like a regular running task would do? Like if I hold my mouse over the firefox icon I would like it to display the opened windows smaller size right above the icon instead of the little display telling what the file is and such. When I add the tasks to the dock it doesn't show my custom animated icons. Would be nice to impliment a preview on the icons I already have instead of having to load up the task in the dock which don't have my animated icons. Thanks

Also if this is not possible is there anyway to put the tasks into a subdock? I do see a custom icons for the tasks I am going to try now.
*edit* I guess the task icons don't do animated but I did choose a stil pic of the animated one. But still would rather not have my dock so buiky with tasks.. so is there a way to put this in a sub dock on the dock? Thanks.

What you want is merging normal icons on the dock with running applications, like Windows 7 does. This is currently not possible but it is in the to-do list.

As for putting the tasks in a sub-dock: right click the open sub-dock, select Insert New Dock item from the context menu that pops up, then 'Show running applications'.

Thanks so much for the fast reply and yeah I figured it out. It makes it a little less cluttered. Well I know I definitely will be buying this software soon especially if it will be implimented. I also like how object dock rolls out the weather and such, not really important but looks nice. Thanks!

Also would be nice when I click the start button from the dock that it appears right beside the button. I seen the option but it seems to not work. Maybe I have to have the windows taskbar disable. I am using the regular task bar from windows as I like it best.

Then I guess you're using Windows 7... in 7 the taskbar position decides the start menu position, and it can't be changed like on previous windows versions (on Vista and XP the start menu will appear near the start button on the dock). This is not a nexus bug, it's Microsoft's fault that designed it so...
