    Is it possible to have menus in ObjectDock, like the ones on Dell Dock?

    something like this:

    I am running out of place on the Object Dock, and I would like to organize it in categories.

    Thanks.

    Yeah you just have to download it from the support.dell.com site.

    doesn't the download from the Dell site require some kind of Dell authorization if your computer isn't a Dell? So you can't use it on home made or other manufacturers computers?

    okay cool, I'm currently at work so I can't test, but I'd read that during installation it has to verify your machine is a Dell. That's not the case?

    Hmm guess not. I had been looking and Object Dock Plus has something like that. And I also saw Rocket Dock allows for stacks.

    I recommend the stardock and stackdocklet solution over the Dell dock solution with a work around. A. it works without much fuzz and B. the Dell dock is licensed to Dell notebooks.

    Exactly what I wanted! Thanks!

    Are the stacking options from ObjectDock Plus better than the Stackdocklet above?
