It looks like SVD is not part of ObjectDesktop, sorry. (Or is it)

It shows up under ObjectDesktop on my system. And I agree that would be a great feature. I've fired up SVD a couple times but then not used it for long. I'd use it alot with that functionality.
Also I know there is a big thread (Here) with alot of great suggestions for ObjectDock.

Since I've just started using Stardock Virtual Desktop can an option be added that you can set or control DX widgets and objects or even ObjectDock to only appear on one or mulitple desktops? Or to put it another way can the desktops in SVD be totally independent of each other?

Very true Bebi, but the option I'm suggestion would be in SVD to independly set desktop items by desktop.

Place adding new stuff to WB and SKS on hold, fix what is broke to the best of your ability.. start adding new stuff again.

Absolutely.
I do have a suggestion for WB: the Colorize section. If you want to recolor a skin that only has a few colored bits (Black by zer0, WTM, etc) the "preview" in the colorize section doesn't show *any* of the actual pieces of the skin that use color. It would be helpful to show ALL states of the taskbar buttons, since those are usually colored in skins, along with titlebar buttons.

Being able to change a specific color in an iconpackage instead of recoloring the entire icon would be nice.

In DesktopX I would love to see an option to have all labels to be transparent, and to have it remain so when exported as a widget. Now when I make all labels magic pink so they don't show. When you export as a widget they come back....bummer. Also would love to see as much as feasilbe, some more built in scripts. Also, nicer clock hands, or a way to edit the default ones in more depth, rather than just color and size. How about the ability to import external images as the hands without all the extra graphic work. Does that make sense?

This could work well with the future release of Windows 7 and the touch screen. You could add features to work with how it is used in the touch environments. With additional features to make it work with other new features coming in IE8 and FF3.

- Compiz-like tool - http://compiz.org/Home/Screenshots
- A DX framework that uses WB skins (so my DX clock or calendar or whatever would use the WB skin)
- Icon organization on the desktop
- An expose'-like app - none that I have tried work well enough to use regularly. I'd love to see all non focused apps be grayed out
- A mouse gesture app
- OB and RC skinning using WB back in place

With Alpha blending.
Looking for a new product?
A newb-level skinning app to allow us to skin Impulse. I know there's a way and I'll have to edit the Skin\Images files, but that doesn't help the average newb

Theme Manager needs to change to more Appts. Good look for 2009.

1. A Stardock-based internet browser, fully skinnable and customizable, built upon the Mozilla framework. Impulse and SDC come close, but you can't visit Facebook or Gmail through them....yet.
2. The genie effect in ObjectDock. [Yes, I know it's not in ODNT, but I'm not listening, am I?]
3. A Stardock operating system, with every possible skinning proggie squished in. It must be completely skinnable and customizable, and with all the SD apps built in.
4. A Windows Explorer alternative that allows you to browse through your files in CoverFlow and Piclens mode.
Need I say more?

Is there any possiblity to be able to have 3D effects in WB or throughout the software programs. Maybe the capability to push or move open windows into the background and then bring them forward. I think this option would really work great within WindowsFX.
Just a couple of thoughts
