I was going to buy object desktop bundle from Stardock.com but i see they have a new deal the ultimate collection. Do any of you guys have this ? do you think it's good value for money ?
:undecided: |

My ObjectDesktop was updated to Ultimate but I'm not using all the extra bells & whistles.
Frankly, I can't believe it ... They removed WindowFX, ObjectBar, SkinStudio, IconDeveloper, IconX ...
to force you to spend that extra 20 $

It's a new low blow for stardock !  |

| I had Objectbar and hated it, WindowBlinds, and it wasnt compatible with my version of Vista so nothing came up, ObjectDock, which runs very well and something else that was pretty hopeless. |

Windowblinds Vista is very buggy... Objectbar.. I don't really like either, not very functional :undecided: and I have yet to try ObjectDock (only heard good things about that  )

How does it have perfect reflection? How do you get that? And do inidicators still show when the reflection is "perfect"?

ObjectDesktop does not even include OD plus... 
Stardock has made many changes for Vista, not Xp.
So Vista users should be seeing improvements. |

How'd you get OD to reflect? I have OD and OD+ (on separate computers, obv) and I don't have reflections

| I have OD+, one of the latest versions and There is no such thing as a reflect effect. Unless there is a nice docklet that does that for you... |

I'm wondering the same thing, how DO you get reflections? :undecided: Maybe you just tweak the config file, move the icons down and the indicator up?

| There is no reflections available on OD + unless your icons come with reflections already.... however there is this new app by WInstep called Winstep Xtreme that provides reflections but its payware>>> http://www.wincustomize.com/articles.aspx?aid=313992 |

I'd agree on the WB front, its always been sketchy for me.
Not tried OB yet, but I use OD and love it.
