For me it was objectdock. Was such a useful application back in the early days. I had many shortcuts to applications and folders on hand without taking up valuable space on the taskbar. Sad that it has not gotten the treatment like all the other apps recently. Its tabbed dock feature was super unique and to this day beats the winstep dock by a mile in terms of use for me. It did not feel clunky and just worked. Would love to see a W11 update to it even if you have to scrap some of the docklets that don't work anymore that cost to much money to keep working (weather).

Just a wild guess from this oldie: Desktop X?

As a user, I would have to go with WindowFX (even though it is not in ObjectDesktop)

For me it's a tie between WB and IconPackager. I use both of those apps constantly, constantly, constantly. And bringing up the rear in a close 3rd spot would be Start11.

Windowblinds is by far the most used and appreciated Stardock app for me, followed by IconPackager, and in later years Start Menu Products. Without Windowblinds, I more than likely would have looked elsewhere for customization.

Yup. Would be real fun to have it back. Enjoyed your skins, Vad_M's and Dave's so much!

Start 11.

It's not included in newer subs, it was removed before I started working here

Before Win 11, i would use WB, Iconpackager and Start 10, never could work with the boring original desktop, so they would be my go to programs for any new Windows install.
