I'd like to see ObjectDock Plus as part of the OD suite. But that's just me. Zubaz linked to a page full of Compiz screenshots. One thing that has always bugged me is the fact that Microsoft did not take after the Compiz project. While it's good that they are now using the 3D card to do all the window drawing and compositing, it just pales in comparison to what Compiz is capable of doing. Ever since having used it myself, I've been hooked on it. Having Compiz-like effects and window manager would do wonders to how Vista is used. I loved how their Alt-tab worked compared to Vista's pitiful version. It's a long-shot but Stardock has the chance at this time to kick Vista's terrible Desktop Window Manager and replace it with an entirely new, different, and Compiz-like alternative. It may obsolete a few things (virtual desktop and WindowFX) but you can always set a price because of the work it entails. And I'd be first in line to snatch up a copy of such a product.

A DX framework that uses WB skins (so my DX clock or calendar or whatever would use the WB skin)

Yes! It would be really great! And this will save a lot of my time.

Several months age I have done a simple WB Skin reader that allow me to extract some parts of installed skin like window borders, buttons, etc... to apply them into the widgets through object.picture. Seems it works. However I have a problem with observing for image margins and applying them correctly. Now I stopped this project because I have not enough time to finish it. So I'll be happy if Strdock's DX developers will make this Instead of me. I can be very lazy sometimes...

I'd like to see the 'flyout' feature used on hovering over an inactive tab allowing clicking on an app in that (inactive) section's content.

An expose'-like app - none that I have tried work well enough to use regularly.
+1 That would be über to have, I feel so naked without Exposé in Windows. PixelPirate hugs OS X

Making all of the Object Desktop 2008 components fully support Vista would be my first suggestion, then worry about Object Desktop 2009.

- DesktopX:
   - fix already mentioned bugs (found in the numerous threads)
   - add System Tray support for Vista (so we can use DX as a complete desktop replacement)
   - add live preview Taskbar support (running tasks)
   - update UI to match the look/feel of Windowblinds
   - more plug-ins
   - add some support for 3-D objects (importing of .DXF, .3DS, .OBJ objects would be sweet)
   - add drawing objects (i.e. line, box, poly, circle objects so we can dynamically draw [object oriented] objects on the desktop)
   - add ability to export DX objects to Object Dock
   - add reflection object to make a 'live' reflection of a DX object

- Window FX:
   - make all of the effects work in Vista

- Logon Studio Vista:
   - make it work with Vista (SP1)

- Right Click:
   - Add .PNG (Alpha channel transparency) - Magic Pink sucks!
   - update the UI - current UI looks about 10 years old!

- Enhanced File Dialog:
   - make it work with Vista

Although that looks neat Harley, Ive always thought special folder images just got in the way, even when made almost transparent and with XP being phased out...well.. need I say more.

PSD support for Skinstudio... PLEASE!!
Hellz yeah. Maybe using slices or layers to divide up the active/inactive images etc. PS layers = SKS layers. And if layers would support blend modes in SKS...omg, that would be icing on the cake.
Ability to click on a preview to navigate thru SKS instead of using tree. ( If not, re-organize\alphabetize treeview to be easier to navigate)
YES! PLEASE!
Republican for president.
Amen.
